- A theory $T$ is said to be relatively decidable if for every model of $T$, one can compute the elementary diagram of that model from its atomic diagram together with $T$. We verify a conjecture of Chubb, Miller, and Solomon by showing that for complete theories $T$, $T$ is relatively decidable if and only if $T$ has a conservative model complete extension of the form $T \cup \{φ(\bar{c})\}$ where $T \models \exists \bar{x} \; φ(\bar{x})$. We also show that no such characterization works for incomplete theories.
