$\dashv\vdash$, means that two statements are interderivable.   It's an expression of logical equivalence, or syntactic equivalence, in formal proofs.

$$p\dashv\vdash q\qquad\text{ means that }\quad p\vdash q\quad\text{ and }\quad q\vdash p$$

.


PS: The turnstyle, $\vdash$, is the logical implication symbol in formal proofs; which may be read aloud as "therefore".
