Primes¶
- Counterfactuals
- Stalnaker (1968)
This sourceFirst possible-worlds semantics for conditionals via a selection function picking the unique closest antecedent-world. Verified support for the unique-world variant and the standard rejection of backtracking.
- Stalnaker (1968)
- Minimal Modification Principle
- This principle ensures counterfactuals are minimal changes from actuality, not arbitrary reimaginings where everything is different.
This sourceFirst possible-worlds semantics for conditionals using a selection function that picks the antecedent-world differing minimally from the actual world; original formal articulation of minimal-change semantics.
- This principle ensures counterfactuals are minimal changes from actuality, not arbitrary reimaginings where everything is different.
Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
