Statements are true if they are consistent with, proved by, or prove, other complete and consistent statements {coherence theory} {coherentism}. Whole belief sets are the only knowledge. Beliefs belong to complete and consistent belief networks. Belief networks can reinforce beliefs by consistency, completeness, probability, or power. Beliefs can form complete, consistent, and integrated structures. However, completeness and coherence are not the same as truth. Propositions can form complete and consistent sets.
