Logical consistency. Definition: a set of sentences is logically consistent if and only if it is possible for all the members of that set to be true. A consistent set of sentences is a set all of which can be true together — or, as logicians are fond of saying: there is some possible world in which they are all true.

(also known as: internal contradiction, logical inconsistency) Description: In terms of a fallacious argument, two or more propositions are asserted that cannot both possibly be true. In a more general sense, holding two or more views/beliefs that cannot all be true together.

Internal consistency is the consistency between different parts of an interface; External consistency is consistency with other applications on the same platform, or with standards out in the world.

Here are a few best practices:

1. Isolate one goal. Developing consistency goes against human nature.
2. Focus on incremental improvement. You’re not going to develop a positive, worthwhile habit overnight.
3. Fight your emotions. The brain is a taxing organ.
4. Forgive your failures.

An argument is consistent if all its statements are true. Isn’t this the same thing ? No, not the same thing. Consistency and truth are totally different things. And it’s false that an argument is consistent if all its premises are true.

1. Consistent Morning.
2. Write it Down to F.O.C.U.S.
3. Consistent Thinking.
4. Don’t Let Self-Doubt Creep in Until After You’ve Accomplished Your Process Goals.
5. Do it even if you don’t feel like it (short-term)
6. Identity: You Are What You Do Daily.
7. Improve Your Consistency to Consistently Improve.

It’s hard to be consistent because we tend to focus on the outcome more than the process. Put another way, we’re more drawn to the positive feelings of outcomes rather than the struggle of the journey. Most of us quit during the struggle before we can experience the rewards of staying the course.

Erratic/inconsistent behavior is behavior that is unpredictable, or may be considered irregular or illogical for the situation, or not keeping with the standards of behavior for a given set of circumstances.

Consistency develops routines and builds momentum. It forms habits that become almost second nature. Leadership guru John Maxwell said: “Small disciplines repeated with consistency every day lead to great achievements gained slowly over time.” Consistency is especially important in business.

The sole purpose of the consistency principle, or consistency concept, is to ensure that transactions or events are recorded in the same way, from one accounting year to the next. In other words, businesses should not use a certain accounting method one year, and a different accounting method the next year.

A realistic character should be consistent. If you were to put them in the same situation, while they were in the same mood, everyday they should react in more or less the same way. The core personality of a character is made up from their world view, attitudes and ethics.

Consistency is defined as following constantly the same principles, course or form in all circumstances; holding together. If I allow myself to compromise our principles instead of holding my ground, my children will learn to do the same. They need to see me having a consistent attitude and fortitude.

Personality is inferred from behavior and personality consistency refers to similar behavior in similar situations (cross-situational consistency) and/or similar behavior over time (temporal consistency). Continuity may be thought of as a combination of these types of consistency.

5 Ways to Keep Characters Consistent

1. Create a Bible for your character.
2. Create separate dialogue files for each character.
3. If there are long spaces between writing and editing sessions, then be sure to re-read the previous sections.
4. Immerse yourself with a character for a day.
5. Write an obituary of your character.

It’s like how you can’t be a good cartoonist until you’ve mastered life drawing.

1. Surround unlikeable characters with characters who love them.
2. If the hero is unlikeable, at least make them super competent.
3. Make sure the audience understands motivation.
4. Generate Twice As Much Empathy For An Antihero As For A Hero.

A dynamic character is a character who undergoes significant internal change throughout the course of a story. Dynamic characters are the opposite of static characters; while dynamic characters change throughout a story, static characters stay the same.
