| Abstract: | We extend the familiar possible-world semantics of modal logic by considering the 'impossible' worlds of a Kripke structure. We obtain a simple semantics for Levesque's "All I know" logic. We provide a natural proof theory and prove the expected soundness and completeness theorems. From a mathematical point of view we offer ~ natural generalization of modal logic that significantly strengthens its expressive power. Cpnsidered in the context of Knowledge Representation, such a logic is a standard monotonic logic that allows formal treatment of default reasoning. |
