Soundness
In logic or, more precisely, deductive reasoning, an argument is sound if it is both valid in form and its premises are true. Soundness also has a related meaning in mathematical logic, wherein logical systems are sound if and only if every formula that can be proved in the system is logically valid with respect to the semantics of the system.

soundness
Soundness generally refers to the property of being based on valid reasoning, accurate information, or firm evidence. It is often used to refer to the reliability, credibility, or solidity of arguments, theories, systems or methodologies. In logic and mathematics, it specifically refers to the quality of a deductive system that ensures that if a statement is derived or proven from a set of axioms or premises using the system's rules of inference, it must be true.
