Intensional models of PIP #
This file defines the models of PIP whose atoms are worlds and entities. A world is the singleton plurality of its atom, and a family of world-relative relations on atoms is lifted distributively to relation symbols: a symbol holds of a world and nonempty pluralities iff it holds at that world of every tuple of their members, and it holds of nothing whose world argument is not a world.
Main definitions #
Atom,world— worlds and entities as atoms; a world as a plurality.Model.intensional— the distributive lifting of world-relative relations.
Main statements #
Model.intensional_apply₁,Model.intensional_apply₂— the lifting on one and two arguments.Term.realize_sigma_world_eq,exists_mem_distributive_iff,exists_mem_singleton_iff,exists_singleton_iff,exists_distributive_iff— the values of summations over worlds and over entities from characterizations of their bodies.exists_eq_singleton_iff— a plurality of entities is a singleton iff exactly one entity satisfies its description.

The intensional model of a family of relations on atoms at each world: a relation symbol holds of a world and nonempty pluralities iff it holds at that world of every tuple of their members, and of nothing whose world argument is not a world.

Instances For
The value of a summation over a world variable whose body, on the assignments
agreeing outside the summation variable and its locals, holds iff the variable is a
world standing in the relation B to the value of the local y: the worlds so
related to some plurality.
