sound
1. audio.
2. <logic> An inference system A is sound with respect to another system
B if A can only reach conclusions which are true in B. A type inference system
is considered sound with respect to a semantics if the type inferred for an
expression is the same as the type inferred for the meaning of that expression
under the semantics.
The dual to soundness is completeness.
