Abstract:
Propositional logics with many modalites, characterized by “two-dimensional” Kripke models, are investigated. The general problem can be formulated as follows: from two modal logics describing certain classes of Kripke modal lattices construct a logic describing all products of Kripke lattices from these classes. For a large number of cases such a logic is obtained by joining to the original logics an axiom of the form ◻i◻jp≡◻j◻ip and ◊i◻jp⊃◻j◊ip. A special case of this problem, leading to the logic of a torus S5×S5 was solved by Segerberg [1].
