The projected language has falsity, the denumerable propositional variables p subscript zero, p subscript one, and so on, negation, conjunction, disjunction, the conditional, and the necessity and possibility operators. The source lists each symbol and its syntactic role.
Falsity and every propositional variable are atomic formulas. Negation takes one formula; conjunction, disjunction, and the conditional take two formulas; necessity and possibility each take one formula. Nothing else is a formula. Parentheses and construction order are retained.
In the selected source profile, truth abbreviates not falsity and the biconditional between A and B abbreviates the conjunction of the conditional from A to B with the conditional from B to A. Unselected source branches are not silently inserted.
Simultaneously replace p subscript one through p subscript n in formula A by D subscript one through D subscript n. The source gives the atomic, negation, conjunction, disjunction, conditional, biconditional, necessity, and possibility cases in order. Each case applies the same replacement list, and no replacement is performed sequentially.
A is the conditional from p one to necessarily p one and p two. D one is possibly if p two then p three, and D two is not necessarily p one. The display gives both orders of simultaneous replacement, then both orders of iterated replacement, preserving the different resulting formulas.
The alignment first gives the simultaneous D one, D two instance and then the reversed simultaneous instance. It next gives the result of substituting D one before D two, and finally D two before D one. Alignment columns are layout; each spoken result is a complete conditional.
A model M is an ordered triple W, R, V. W is a nonempty set of worlds, R is a binary accessibility relation on W, and V assigns to every propositional variable the set of worlds where it is true. R w w prime means w prime is accessible from w.
The figure contains the source model graph with worlds w one, w two, and w three, printed truth labels for p and q at every world, and exactly two arrows, both from w one. Its inner TikZ object supplies the ordered structural reading.
World w one prints p true and q false; w two prints p true and q true; w three prints p false and q false. The only directed accessibility edges are from w one to w two and from w one to w three. No loop or other edge is drawn.
Model M satisfies A at w according to the atomic and Boolean clauses, followed by the modal clauses. Necessity of B holds at w exactly when B holds at every world accessible from w. Possibility of B holds at w exactly when B holds at at least one accessible world.
For the earlier three-world model, decide whether each of nine displayed satisfaction claims holds, including vacuous necessities at w three and a nested necessity-negation claim at w one. The source supplies questions only; no answers are added.
At any world, necessarily A is equivalent to not possibly not A, and possibly A is equivalent to not necessarily not A. The selected proof establishes the first equivalence; the second is assigned separately as an exercise.
Complete the omitted second part of the preceding duality proposition. The requested proof is not supplied in the source and remains unsolved.
Assume w one and w two agree on every propositional variable and have exactly the same accessible worlds. Prove by induction that they agree on every modal formula. The source states the conditions and goal but gives no solution.
For a model M, prove that not possibly A holds at w exactly when necessarily not A holds there. This source exercise remains unsolved.
A is true in model M exactly when model M satisfies A at every world w in W. This global notion is distinct from satisfaction at one specified world.
If A is true throughout a nonempty model, not A is not true throughout it; the converse fails. If the conditional from A to B and A are both true throughout a model, then B is too; the converse relationship between the global statements fails. The proof uses the earlier simple model for counterexamples.
The graph fixes the printed values of p one, p two, and p three and four directed edges. Decide whether six listed formulas or schemas are true at every world. The source requests explanations but provides no solutions.
World w one prints p one true and p two and p three false. World w two prints p one and p two true and p three false. World w three prints all three true. Arrows go from w one to w two, w two to w three, and w one to w three; w three also has a loop.
A is valid in class C exactly when it is true at every world in every model in C. C semantically entails A records class-relative validity; an entailment sign without C records validity in all models.
If A is valid throughout class C, it is valid throughout every subclass C prime of C.
If A is valid in all models, then necessarily A is valid in all models. The proof takes an arbitrary model and world and applies validity at every accessible world.
Show validity of the three listed formulas involving necessity, falsity, and nested conditionals. The source gives no solutions.
Prove one schema valid when the model has one world, and two further schemas valid when the accessibility relation is empty. The formulas and model classes remain exactly as printed; no proof is supplied.
A modal formula B is a tautological instance when it is obtained by simultaneously substituting modal formulas D one through D n for the variables of a modal-free tautology A.
For modal-free A, choose assignment v so that v of p subscript i is true exactly when model M satisfies D subscript i at w. Then v satisfies A exactly when M at w satisfies the simultaneous substitution instance of A. The proof proceeds by the projected induction cases.
The three equivalences connect propositional satisfaction of p subscript i, the assigned value true, modal satisfaction of D subscript i at w, and satisfaction of the corresponding substitution instance.
The chain moves from propositional satisfaction of not B to failure of B, uses the induction hypothesis for the substitution instance of B, and concludes modal satisfaction of the substitution instance of not B. The source's final justification names propositional rather than modal satisfaction; that attribution is preserved with a note.
The chain expands propositional satisfaction of B and C, applies both induction hypotheses in source order, and recombines the two modal claims as satisfaction of the substitution instance of the conjunction.
The chain expands propositional satisfaction of B or C, applies the two induction hypotheses, and recombines the alternatives as satisfaction of the substitution instance of the disjunction.
The chain expands the conditional as failure of B or satisfaction of C, applies the two induction hypotheses with the negative antecedent retained, and recombines the alternatives as satisfaction of the substituted conditional.
The contraposition proof turns a modal countermodel to a substitution instance into a propositional counterassignment to the underlying modal-free formula, using the preceding lemma.
A schema is exactly the set of simultaneous substitution instances of a characteristic modal formula C. Characteristic formulas are unique up to renaming propositional variables; membership makes a formula an instance of the schema.
A schema is true in a model when all its instances are true there, and valid when it is true in every model. This is stronger than truth of only its characteristic formula in one model.
K says that necessarily if A then B implies that necessarily A implies necessarily B. The proof fixes an arbitrary accessible world and applies both boxed assumptions there.
If necessarily if A then B, then if necessarily A, then necessarily B. The source tags this display K.
The proposition states that possibly A is equivalent to not necessarily not A. Its proof body is the source placeholder Exercise and is not expanded.
Possibly A if and only if not necessarily not A. The source tags this display Dual.
Prove the preceding proposition that the Dual schema is valid. The source provides no proof here.
If A and the conditional from A to B are true at a world, B is true there. Consequently the valid formulas are closed under modus ponens.
A is valid exactly when every simultaneous substitution instance of A is valid. The only-if proof changes the valuation component to make each p subscript i true exactly where D subscript i is true and leaves the supporting induction claim as an exercise.
Prove by induction that the original model satisfies substitution instance B at w exactly when the modified model satisfies A at w. The proof is not supplied.
Give countermodels to the schemas D, T, B, four, and five as printed. They respectively involve seriality-like, reflexive, symmetric, transitive, and Euclidean patterns studied later; no answers are inserted here.
This TeX table wrapper contains one two-column tabular object with six source rows. Its caption literally says valid and open-parenthesis or question mark close-parenthesis invalid schemas; that source uncertainty is retained. The inner table supplies the nonduplicated listener structure.
The first column contains six schemas identified by the source as valid, and the second contains six identified as invalid. Each row is a pair, read left then right; formulas are not regrouped by operator or inferred beyond the source labels.
Prove every schema in the table's first column valid and every schema in its second column invalid. The source supplies no proofs or countermodels.
Decide whether each of two displayed compound schemas is valid or invalid. The source does not reveal either classification.
For each of two characteristic formulas, find one model in which every substitution instance is true. The requested models and justification are not supplied.
Gamma entails A exactly when, at every world of every model, satisfaction of every B in Gamma guarantees satisfaction of A. With one premise B, the notation is B entails A.
The first argument proves that if p then possibly p entails if necessarily not p then not p. The second refutes entailment of if necessarily p then p using the pictured three-world model and then gives a simpler one-world edgeless countermodel. The source's set braces around the latter model triple are retained and disclosed.
The figure contains the source graph with p false at w one, p true at w two and w three, and exactly the arrows from w one to each of w two and w three. Its inner TikZ object supplies the ordered structural reading.
World w one prints p false. Worlds w two and w three each print p true. Directed accessibility edges go from w one to w two and from w one to w three. No loop or other edge is printed.
Show that necessity of A and B entails necessity of A. The source gives the statement only and the exercise remains unsolved.
Give countermodels showing that necessarily if p then q does not entail if p then necessarily q, and the converse entailment also fails. No countermodels are supplied.
