Full Idea
The semantic pattern of a first-order language is the ways in which truth values depend on which individuals instantiate the properties and relations which figure in them. ..So we pair a truth value with each combination of individuals, sets etc.
Gist of Idea
The semantics shows how truth values depend on instantiations of properties and relations

A Reaction
So truth reduces to a combination of 'instantiations', which is rather like 'satisfaction'.
