The premise primitives live in Intensional.Premise; re-export
them under Semantics.Modality.Kratzer so the historical Kratzer.foo call
style continues to work. The conversational-background primitives
(ConvBackground, ModalBase, …) are defined directly in this namespace by
ConversationalBackground.lean.
The list of propositions from A that world w satisfies.
This is {p ∈ A : w ∈ p} in Kratzer's notation. We use classical
decidability to filter the list, so this definition is noncomputable —
downstream uses are about lengths/membership, not evaluation.
Equations
- Semantics.Modality.Kratzer.satisfiedPropositions A w = List.filter (fun (p : W → Prop) => decide (p w)) A
Instances For
Kratzer's world ordering as a Preorder on worlds — the criteria-derived
preorder (Preorder.ofCriteria) with the ordering source A as criteria
set and truth-at-a-world as satisfaction. The induced order is ≤[A].
Used by Phillips-Brown desire semantics and other consumers via
letI := kratzerPreorder A.
Equations
- Semantics.Modality.Kratzer.kratzerPreorder A = Preorder.ofCriteria (fun (w : W) (p : W → Prop) => p w) {p : W → Prop | p ∈ A}
Instances For
Kratzer's ordering relation: w ≤_A z — the le of kratzerPreorder.
[Kra81]: w ≤_A z iff every ideal proposition p ∈ A that
holds at z also holds at w. Intuitively: w is at least as good as
z (w.r.t. ideal A) iff every ideal proposition that z satisfies,
w also satisfies.

Instances For
Strict ordering: w <_A z iff w ≤_A z but not z ≤_A w.
This means w satisfies strictly more ideal propositions than z.

Instances For
Kratzer's ordering as a normality Preorder — definitionally
Normality.fromProps (the same Preorder.ofCriteria order); connects to
default-reasoning infrastructure (Normality.optimal, refine,
respects, CR1–CR4).
Instances For
Equivalence under the ordering.

Theorem 2: Empty ordering makes all worlds equivalent.
If A = ∅, then for all w, z: w ≤_A z and z ≤_A w.
Proof: There are no propositions in [] to satisfy, so the universal is vacuous.
The set of worlds accessible from w given modal base f.
These are exactly the worlds in ⋂f(w) — worlds compatible with all facts in f(w).
Equations
Instances For
The best worlds among accessible worlds, according to ordering source g.
These are the accessible worlds that are maximal under ≤{g(w)}: worlds w' such that for all accessible w'', w' ≤{g(w)} w''.
When g(w) = ∅, all accessible worlds are best (by Theorem 2).
Equations
- Semantics.Modality.Kratzer.bestWorlds f g w = {w' : W | w' ∈ Semantics.Modality.Kratzer.accessibleWorlds f w ∧ ∀ w'' ∈ Semantics.Modality.Kratzer.accessibleWorlds f w, w' ≤[g w] w''}
Instances For
Theorem 3: Empty ordering source reduces to simple accessibility.
When g(w) = ∅, bestWorlds = accessibleWorlds.
Variant of empty_ordering_simple matching emptyBackground by name.
The best worlds among a given set, ranked by an ordering.
Unlike bestWorlds which computes accessible worlds from a modal base,
bestAmong takes a precomputed world set. This is needed when the
domain has already been restricted (e.g., by promoted priorities in
[Rub14]'s favored worlds).
Equations
- Semantics.Modality.Kratzer.bestAmong worlds ordering = {w' : W | w' ∈ worlds ∧ ∀ w'' ∈ worlds, w' ≤[ordering] w''}
Instances For
With empty ordering, all worlds are best (Kratzer's theorem 2).
bestAmong is a subset of the input worlds.
Best worlds in a superset that belong to a subset are best in the subset.
If w' beats every world in a larger set, it certainly beats every world in any subset. This is the key lemma for showing that star-revision (domain widening) preserves strong necessity.
