In relevant logic, a propositional constant (or -ary connective) acting as a proxy for the infinitary conjunction of all tautologies. and the propositional constant are together known as the Ackermann constants due to their having been studied by logician Wilhelm Ackermann (1896–1962). Although and the formula verum () are equivalent in classical logic, they become distinct in the weaker family of relevant logics. Most notably, the relevant interpretation of treats the connective as the weakest possible truth, i.e., is relevantly entailed by every formula . Given the relevant reading of , entails every logical truth (codified by the axiom ). is construed as strictly stronger than .
