The ⊭ (Not True) symbol, also known as the negated double turnstile, is primarily used in formal logic and mathematics. It indicates that a given mathematical structure is "not a model of" a formula, or that a set of premises "does not entail" a specific conclusion. While it rarely appears in everyday text, it remains a crucial notation for computer scientists and logicians working with model theory.
