P. Simons on Operators - Dictionary of Arguments
I 280 Possible Worlds/actuality operator/Simons: with an an actuality operator we can avoid reference to possible worlds, e.g. if there is a (non-empty) set in a world and all of its elements also exist in the other world, then there is the set itself in that world. Then without possible worlds, we can write: CE N (a) N1(M(Ea u (x)[x ε a ⊃ A1 (E!x)] ⊃ Ea). That is, when a part of b is in a world, then also in each world, in which b exists. >Actual world, >Actuality._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
