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)
“In verity ... we are the poor. This humanity we would claim for ourselves is the legacy, not only of the Enlightenment, but of the thousands and thousands of European peasants and poor townspeople who came here bringing their humanity and their sufferings with them. It is the absence of a stable upper class that is responsible for much of the vulgarity of the American scene. Should we blush before the visitor for this deficiency?”
—Mary McCarthy (1912–1989)
“...that absolutely everything beloved and cherished of the bourgeoisie, the conservative, the cowardly, and the impotent—the State, family life, secular art and science—was consciously or unconsciously hostile to the religious idea, to the Church, whose innate tendency and permanent aim was the dissolution of all existing worldly orders, and the reconstitution of society after the model of the ideal, the communistic City of God.”
—Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
