    , determining validity, or equivalently, testing for satisfiability of given formulas) for many-sorted logic is undecidable. So, we are in the same situation encountered in one-sorted first-order logic. Of course, if a calculus is to be helpful it would never allow erroneous reasonings: it is not going to drive us from true hypotheses to false conclusions. It must be a sound calculus. Further, it is highly desirable that all the consequences of a set \(\Gamma\) of hypotheses could be derived fr
