Real future/Dummett: sentences about the future, true or false, depending on what happens in the future.
Improper future: sentences about current tendencies: whether true or false depends on the current assertability conditions. - If the present tense form is decidable, then the truth conditions are manifestable by the speaker. >Manifestation, >Assertibility.
Compound sentences about the future: make distinction truth/assertibility necessary - e.g. antecedent in conditional -> Extension of the truth conditions by correctness/incorrectness.

Future/Law of the Excluded Middle/Dummett: the law applies here as well - otherwise one would have to deny real future and allow only improper future: only current tendencies.
III (d) 175
Knowledge/Future/Dummett: There are two types of advance knowledge:
1) the prediction based on causal laws
2) Knowledge by intention.
If I believe I can predict the non-happening of an event, I cannot also believe I can contribute something to bring it about without falling into contradictions.
