Properties of The Stable Model Semantics
In this section, as in the definition of a stable model above, by a logic program we mean a set of rules of the form
where are ground atoms.
Head atoms: If an atom belongs to a stable model of a logic program then is the head of one of the rules of .
Minimality: Any stable model of a logic program is minimal among the models of relative to set inclusion.
The antichain property: If and are stable models of the same logic program then is not a proper subset of . In other words, the set of stable models of a program is an antichain.
NP-completeness: Testing whether a finite ground logic program has a stable model is NP-complete.

“The reason why men enter into society, is the preservation of their property; and the end why they choose and authorize a legislative, is, that there may be laws made, and rules set, as guards and fences to the properties of all the members of the society: to limit the power, and moderate the dominion, of every part and member of the society.”
—John Locke (1632–1704)
“And neigh like Boanerges—
Then—punctual as a Star
Stop—docile and omnipotent
At its own stable door—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
“Research shows clearly that parents who have modeled nurturant, reassuring responses to infants’ fears and distress by soothing words and stroking gentleness have toddlers who already can stroke a crying child’s hair. Toddlers whose special adults model kindliness will even pick up a cookie dropped from a peer’s high chair and return it to the crying peer rather than eat it themselves!”
—Alice Sterling Honig (20th century)
