Kripke semantics (also known as relational semantics or frame semantics, and often confused with possible world semantics) is a formal semantics for non-classical logic systems created in the late 1950s and early 1960s by Saul Kripke and André Joyal. It was first conceived for modal logics, and later adapted to intuitionistic logic and other non-classical systems. The development of Kripke semantics was a breakthrough in the theory of non-classical logics, because the model theory of such logics was almost non-existent before Kripke (algebraic semantics existed, but were considered 'syntax in disguise').

Semantics of modal logic



The language of propositional modal logic consists of a countably infinite set of propositional variables, a set of truth-functional connectives (in this article →displaystyle to to and ¬displaystyle neg neg ), and the modal operator ◻displaystyle Box Box ("necessarily"). The modal operator ◊displaystyle Diamond Diamond ("possibly") is (classically) the dual of ◻displaystyle Box Box and may be defined in terms of necessity like so: ◊A:=¬◻¬Adisplaystyle Diamond A:=neg Box neg ADiamond A:=neg Box neg A ("possibly A" is defined as equivalent to "not necessarily not A").[1]



Basic definitions


A Kripke frame or modal frame is a pair ⟨W,R⟩displaystyle langle W,Rrangle langle W,Rrangle , where W is a (possibly empty) set, and R is a binary relation on W. Elements
of W are called nodes or worlds, and R is known as the accessibility relation.[2]


A Kripke model is a triple ⟨W,R,⊩⟩displaystyle langle W,R,Vdash rangle langle W,R,Vdash rangle , where
⟨W,R⟩displaystyle langle W,Rrangle langle W,Rrangle is a Kripke frame, and ⊩displaystyle Vdash Vdash is a relation between
nodes of W and modal formulas, such that:



  • w⊩¬Adisplaystyle wVdash neg AwVdash neg A if and only if w⊮Adisplaystyle wnVdash AwnVdash A,


  • w⊩A→Bdisplaystyle wVdash Ato BwVdash Ato B if and only if w⊮Adisplaystyle wnVdash AwnVdash A or w⊩Bdisplaystyle wVdash BwVdash B,


  • w⊩◻Adisplaystyle wVdash Box AwVdash Box A if and only if u⊩Adisplaystyle uVdash AuVdash A for all udisplaystyle uu such that wRudisplaystyle w;R;uw;R;u.

We read w⊩Adisplaystyle wVdash AwVdash A as “w satisfies
A”, “A is satisfied in w”, or
w forces A”. The relation ⊩displaystyle Vdash Vdash is called the
satisfaction relation, evaluation, or forcing relation.
The satisfaction relation is uniquely determined by its
value on propositional variables.


A formula A is valid in:


  • a model ⟨W,R,⊩⟩displaystyle langle W,R,Vdash rangle langle W,R,Vdash rangle , if w⊩Adisplaystyle wVdash AwVdash A for all w ∈ W,

  • a frame ⟨W,R⟩displaystyle langle W,Rrangle langle W,Rrangle , if it is valid in ⟨W,R,⊩⟩displaystyle langle W,R,Vdash rangle langle W,R,Vdash rangle for all possible choices of ⊩displaystyle Vdash Vdash ,

  • a class C of frames or models, if it is valid in every member of C.

We define Thm(C) to be the set of all formulas that are valid in
C. Conversely, if X is a set of formulas, let Mod(X) be the
class of all frames which validate every formula from X.


A modal logic (i.e., a set of formulas) L is sound with
respect to a class of frames C, if L ⊆ Thm(C). L is
complete wrt C if L ⊇ Thm(C).



Correspondence and completeness


Semantics is useful for investigating a logic (i.e. a derivation system) only if the semantic consequence relation reflects its syntactical counterpart, the syntactic consequence relation (derivability).[3] It is vital to know which modal logics are sound and complete with respect to a class of Kripke frames, and to determine also which class that is.


For any class C of Kripke frames, Thm(C) is a normal modal logic (in particular, theorems of the minimal normal modal logic, K, are valid in every Kripke model). However, the converse does not hold in general: while most of the modal systems studied are complete of classes of frames described by simple conditions,
Kripke incomplete normal modal logics do exist. A natural example of such a system is Japaridze's Polymodal Logic.


A normal modal logic L corresponds to a class of frames C, if C = Mod(L). In other words, C is the largest class of frames such that L is sound wrt C. It follows that L is Kripke complete if and only if it is complete of its corresponding class.


Consider the schema T : ◻A→Adisplaystyle Box Ato ABox Ato A.
T is valid in any reflexive frame ⟨W,R⟩displaystyle langle W,Rrangle langle W,Rrangle : if
w⊩◻Adisplaystyle wVdash Box AwVdash Box A, then w⊩Adisplaystyle wVdash AwVdash A
since w R w. On the other hand, a frame which
validates T has to be reflexive: fix w ∈ W, and
define satisfaction of a propositional variable p as follows:
u⊩pdisplaystyle uVdash puVdash p if and only if w R u. Then
w⊩◻pdisplaystyle wVdash Box pwVdash Box p, thus w⊩pdisplaystyle wVdash pwVdash p
by T, which means w R w using the definition of
⊩displaystyle Vdash Vdash . T corresponds to the class of reflexive
Kripke frames.


It is often much easier to characterize the corresponding class of
L than to prove its completeness, thus correspondence serves as a
guide to completeness proofs. Correspondence is also used to show
incompleteness of modal logics: suppose
L1 ⊆ L2 are normal modal logics that
correspond to the same class of frames, but L1 does not
prove all theorems of L2. Then L1 is
Kripke incomplete. For example, the schema ◻(A↔◻A)→◻Adisplaystyle Box (Aleftrightarrow Box A)to Box ABox (Aleftrightarrow Box A)to Box A generates an incomplete logic, as it
corresponds to the same class of frames as GL (viz. transitive and
converse well-founded frames), but does not prove the GL-tautology ◻A→◻◻Adisplaystyle Box Ato Box Box ABox Ato Box Box A.

Canonical models


For any normal modal logic, L, a Kripke model (called the canonical model) can be constructed that refutes precisely the non-theorems of
L, by an adaptation of the standard technique of using maximal consistent sets as models. Canonical Kripke models play a
role similar to the Lindenbaum–Tarski algebra construction in algebraic
semantics.


A set of formulas is L-consistent if no contradiction can be derived from it using the theorems of L, and Modus Ponens. A maximal L-consistent set (an L-MCS
for short) is an L-consistent set that has no proper L-consistent superset.


The canonical model of L is a Kripke model
⟨W,R,⊩⟩displaystyle langle W,R,Vdash rangle langle W,R,Vdash rangle , where W is the set of all L-MCS,
and the relations R and ⊩displaystyle Vdash Vdash are as follows:



XRYdisplaystyle X;R;YX;R;Y if and only if for every formula Adisplaystyle AA, if ◻A∈Xdisplaystyle Box Ain XBox Ain X then A∈Ydisplaystyle Ain YAin Y,


X⊩Adisplaystyle XVdash AXVdash A if and only if A∈Xdisplaystyle Ain XAin X.

The canonical model is a model of L, as every L-MCS contains
all theorems of L. By Zorn's lemma, each L-consistent set
is contained in an L-MCS, in particular every formula
unprovable in L has a counterexample in the canonical model.


The main application of canonical models are completeness proofs. Properties of the canonical model of K immediately imply completeness of K with respect to the class of all Kripke frames.
This argument does not work for arbitrary L, because there is no guarantee that the underlying frame of the canonical model satisfies the frame conditions of L.


We say that a formula or a set X of formulas is canonical
with respect to a property P of Kripke frames, if



  • X is valid in every frame that satisfies P,

  • for any normal modal logic L that contains X, the underlying frame of the canonical model of L satisfies P.

A union of canonical sets of formulas is itself canonical.
It follows from the preceding discussion that any logic axiomatized by
a canonical set of formulas is Kripke complete, and
compact.


The axioms T, 4, D, B, 5, H, G (and thus
any combination of them) are canonical. GL and Grz are not
canonical, because they are not compact. The axiom M by itself is
not canonical (Goldblatt, 1991), but the combined logic S4.1 (in
fact, even K4.1) is canonical.


In general, it is undecidable whether a given axiom is
canonical. We know a nice sufficient condition: Henrik Sahlqvist identified a broad class of formulas (now called
Sahlqvist formulas) such that


  • a Sahlqvist formula is canonical,

  • the class of frames corresponding to a Sahlqvist formula is first-order definable,

  • there is an algorithm that computes the corresponding frame condition to a given Sahlqvist formula.

This is a powerful criterion: for example, all axioms
listed above as canonical are (equivalent to) Sahlqvist formulas.



Finite model property


A logic has the finite model property (FMP) if it is complete
with respect to a class of finite frames. An application of this
notion is the decidability question: it
follows from
Post's theorem that a recursively axiomatized modal logic L
which has FMP is decidable, provided it is decidable whether a given
finite frame is a model of L. In particular, every finitely
axiomatizable logic with FMP is decidable.


There are various methods for establishing FMP for a given logic.
Refinements and extensions of the canonical model construction often
work, using tools such as filtration or
unravelling. As another possibility,
completeness proofs based on cut-free
sequent calculi usually produce finite models
directly.


Most of the modal systems used in practice (including all listed
above) have FMP.


In some cases, we can use FMP to prove Kripke completeness of a logic:
every normal modal logic is complete with respect to a class of
modal algebras, and a finite modal algebra can be transformed
into a Kripke frame. As an example, Robert Bull proved using this method
that every normal extension of S4.3 has FMP, and is Kripke
complete.



Multimodal logics



Kripke semantics has a straightforward generalization to logics with
more than one modality. A Kripke frame for a language with
◻i∣i∈Idisplaystyle Box _imid ,iin IBox _imid ,iin I as the set of its necessity operators
consists of a non-empty set W equipped with binary relations
Ri for each i ∈ I. The definition of a
satisfaction relation is modified as follows:



w⊩◻iAdisplaystyle wVdash Box _iAwVdash Box _iA if and only if ∀u(wRiu⇒u⊩A).displaystyle forall u,(w;R_i;uRightarrow uVdash A).forall u,(w;R_i;uRightarrow uVdash A).

A simplified semantics, discovered by Tim Carlson, is often used for
polymodal provability logics. A Carlson model is a structure
⟨W,R,Dii∈I,⊩⟩displaystyle langle W,R,D_i_iin I,Vdash rangle langle W,R,D_i_iin I,Vdash rangle
with a single accessibility relation R, and subsets
Di ⊆ W for each modality. Satisfaction is
defined as



w⊩◻iAdisplaystyle wVdash Box _iAwVdash Box _iA if and only if ∀u∈Di(wRu⇒u⊩A).displaystyle forall uin D_i,(w;R;uRightarrow uVdash A).forall uin D_i,(w;R;uRightarrow uVdash A).

Carlson models are easier to visualize and to work with than usual
polymodal Kripke models; there are, however, Kripke complete polymodal
logics which are Carlson incomplete.



Semantics of intuitionistic logic


Kripke semantics for the intuitionistic logic follows the same
principles as the semantics of modal logic, but it uses a different
definition of satisfaction.


An intuitionistic Kripke model is a triple
⟨W,≤,⊩⟩displaystyle langle W,leq ,Vdash rangle langle W,leq ,Vdash rangle , where ⟨W,≤⟩displaystyle langle W,leq rangle langle W,leq rangle is a preordered Kripke frame, and ⊩displaystyle Vdash Vdash satisfies the following conditions:


  • if p is a propositional variable, w≤udisplaystyle wleq uwleq u, and w⊩pdisplaystyle wVdash pwVdash p, then u⊩pdisplaystyle uVdash puVdash p (persistency condition (cf. monotonicity)),


  • w⊩A∧Bdisplaystyle wVdash Aland BwVdash Aland B if and only if w⊩Adisplaystyle wVdash AwVdash A and w⊩Bdisplaystyle wVdash BwVdash B,


  • w⊩A∨Bdisplaystyle wVdash Alor BwVdash Alor B if and only if w⊩Adisplaystyle wVdash AwVdash A or w⊩Bdisplaystyle wVdash BwVdash B,


  • w⊩A→Bdisplaystyle wVdash Ato BwVdash Ato B if and only if for all u≥wdisplaystyle ugeq wugeq w, u⊩Adisplaystyle uVdash AuVdash A implies u⊩Bdisplaystyle uVdash BuVdash B,

  • not w⊩⊥displaystyle wVdash bot wVdash bot .

The negation of A, ¬A, could be defined as an abbreviation for A → ⊥. If for all u such that wu, not u A, then w A → ⊥ is vacuously true, so w ¬A.


Intuitionistic logic is sound and complete with respect to its Kripke
semantics, and it has the finite model property.



Intuitionistic first-order logic


Let L be a first-order language. A Kripke
model of L is a triple
⟨W,≤,Mww∈W⟩displaystyle langle W,leq ,M_w_win Wrangle langle W,leq ,M_w_win Wrangle , where
⟨W,≤⟩displaystyle langle W,leq rangle langle W,leq rangle is an intuitionistic Kripke frame, Mw is a
(classical) L-structure for each node w ∈ W, and
the following compatibility conditions hold whenever u ≤ v:


  • the domain of Mu is included in the domain of Mv,

  • realizations of function symbols in Mu and Mv agree on elements of Mu,

  • for each n-ary predicate P and elements a1,…,an ∈ Mu: if P(a1,…,an) holds in Mu, then it holds in Mv.

Given an evaluation e of variables by elements of Mw, we
define the satisfaction relation w⊩A[e]displaystyle wVdash A[e]wVdash A[e]:



  • w⊩P(t1,…,tn)[e]displaystyle wVdash P(t_1,dots ,t_n)[e]wVdash P(t_1,dots ,t_n)[e] if and only if P(t1[e],…,tn[e])displaystyle P(t_1[e],dots ,t_n[e])P(t_1[e],dots ,t_n[e]) holds in Mw,


  • w⊩(A∧B)[e]displaystyle wVdash (Aland B)[e]wVdash (Aland B)[e] if and only if w⊩A[e]displaystyle wVdash A[e]wVdash A[e] and w⊩B[e]displaystyle wVdash B[e]wVdash B[e],


  • w⊩(A∨B)[e]displaystyle wVdash (Alor B)[e]wVdash (Alor B)[e] if and only if w⊩A[e]displaystyle wVdash A[e]wVdash A[e] or w⊩B[e]displaystyle wVdash B[e]wVdash B[e],


  • w⊩(A→B)[e]displaystyle wVdash (Ato B)[e]wVdash (Ato B)[e] if and only if for all u≥wdisplaystyle ugeq wugeq w, u⊩A[e]displaystyle uVdash A[e]uVdash A[e] implies u⊩B[e]displaystyle uVdash B[e]uVdash B[e],

  • not w⊩⊥[e]displaystyle wVdash bot [e]wVdash bot [e],


  • w⊩(∃xA)[e]displaystyle wVdash (exists x,A)[e]wVdash (exists x,A)[e] if and only if there exists an a∈Mwdisplaystyle ain M_wain M_w such that w⊩A[e(x→a)]displaystyle wVdash A[e(xto a)]wVdash A[e(xto a)],


  • w⊩(∀xA)[e]displaystyle wVdash (forall x,A)[e]wVdash (forall x,A)[e] if and only if for every u≥wdisplaystyle ugeq wugeq w and every a∈Mudisplaystyle ain M_uain M_u , u⊩A[e(x→a)]displaystyle uVdash A[e(xto a)]uVdash A[e(xto a)].

Here e(xa) is the evaluation which gives x the
value a, and otherwise agrees with e.


See a slightly different formalization in.[4]



Kripke–Joyal semantics


As part of the independent development of sheaf theory, it was realised around 1965 that Kripke semantics was intimately related to the treatment of existential quantification in topos theory.[5] That is, the 'local' aspect of existence for sections of a sheaf was a kind of logic of the 'possible'. Though this development was the work of a number of people, the name Kripke–Joyal semantics is often used in this connection.



Model constructions


As in classical model theory, there are methods for
constructing a new Kripke model from other models.


The natural homomorphisms in Kripke semantics are called
p-morphisms (which is short for pseudo-epimorphism, but the
latter term is rarely used). A p-morphism of Kripke frames
⟨W,R⟩displaystyle langle W,Rrangle langle W,Rrangle and ⟨W′,R′⟩displaystyle langle W',R'rangle langle W',R'rangle is a mapping
f:W→W′displaystyle fcolon Wto W'fcolon Wto W' such that



  • f preserves the accessibility relation, i.e., u R v implies f(uR’ f(v),

  • whenever f(uR’ v’, there is a v ∈ W such that u R v and f(v) = v’.

A p-morphism of Kripke models ⟨W,R,⊩⟩displaystyle langle W,R,Vdash rangle langle W,R,Vdash rangle and
⟨W′,R′,⊩′⟩displaystyle langle W',R',Vdash 'rangle langle W',R',Vdash 'rangle is a p-morphism of their
underlying frames f:W→W′displaystyle fcolon Wto W'fcolon Wto W', which
satisfies



w⊩pdisplaystyle wVdash pwVdash p if and only if f(w)⊩′pdisplaystyle f(w)Vdash 'pf(w)Vdash 'p, for any propositional variable p.

P-morphisms are a special kind of bisimulations. In general, a
bisimulation between frames ⟨W,R⟩displaystyle langle W,Rrangle langle W,Rrangle and
⟨W′,R′⟩displaystyle langle W',R'rangle langle W',R'rangle is a relation
B ⊆ W × W’, which satisfies
the following “zig-zag” property:


  • if u B u’ and u R v, there exists v’ ∈ W’ such that v B v’ and u’ R’ v’,

  • if u B u’ and u’ R’ v’, there exists v ∈ W such that v B v’ and u R v.

A bisimulation of models is additionally required to preserve forcing
of atomic formulas:


if w B w’, then w⊩pdisplaystyle wVdash pwVdash p if and only if w′⊩′pdisplaystyle w'Vdash 'pw'Vdash 'p, for any propositional variable p.

The key property which follows from this definition is that
bisimulations (hence also p-morphisms) of models preserve the
satisfaction of all formulas, not only propositional variables.


We can transform a Kripke model into a tree using
unravelling. Given a model ⟨W,R,⊩⟩displaystyle langle W,R,Vdash rangle langle W,R,Vdash rangle and a fixed
node w0 ∈ W, we define a model
⟨W′,R′,⊩′⟩displaystyle langle W',R',Vdash 'rangle langle W',R',Vdash 'rangle , where W’ is the
set of all finite sequences
s=⟨w0,w1,…,wn⟩displaystyle s=langle w_0,w_1,dots ,w_nrangle s=langle w_0,w_1,dots ,w_nrangle such
that wi R wi+1 for all
i < n, and s⊩pdisplaystyle sVdash psVdash p if and only if
wn⊩pdisplaystyle w_nVdash pw_nVdash p for a propositional variable
p. The definition of the accessibility relation R’
varies; in the simplest case we put



⟨w0,w1,…,wn⟩R′⟨w0,w1,…,wn,wn+1⟩displaystyle langle w_0,w_1,dots ,w_nrangle ;R';langle w_0,w_1,dots ,w_n,w_n+1rangle langle w_0,w_1,dots ,w_nrangle ;R';langle w_0,w_1,dots ,w_n,w_n+1rangle ,

but many applications need the reflexive and/or transitive closure of
this relation, or similar modifications.


Filtration is a useful construction which uses to prove FMP for many logics. Let X be a set of
formulas closed under taking subformulas. An X-filtration of a
model ⟨W,R,⊩⟩displaystyle langle W,R,Vdash rangle langle W,R,Vdash rangle is a mapping f from W to a model
⟨W′,R′,⊩′⟩displaystyle langle W',R',Vdash 'rangle langle W',R',Vdash 'rangle such that



  • f is a surjection,


  • f preserves the accessibility relation, and (in both directions) satisfaction of variables p ∈ X,

  • if f(uR’ f(v) and u⊩◻Adisplaystyle uVdash Box AuVdash Box A, where ◻A∈Xdisplaystyle Box Ain XBox Ain X, then v⊩Adisplaystyle vVdash AvVdash A.

It follows that f preserves satisfaction of all formulas from
X. In typical applications, we take f as the projection
onto the quotient of W over the relation



u ≡X v if and only if for all A ∈ X, u⊩Adisplaystyle uVdash AuVdash A if and only if v⊩Adisplaystyle vVdash AvVdash A.

As in the case of unravelling, the definition of the accessibility
relation on the quotient varies.



General frame semantics


The main defect of Kripke semantics is the existence of Kripke incomplete logics, and logics which are complete but not compact. It can be remedied by equipping Kripke frames with extra structure which restricts the set of possible valuations, using ideas from algebraic semantics. This gives rise to the general frame semantics.



Computer science applications



Blackburn et al. (2001) point out that because a relational structure is simply a set together with a collection of relations on that set, it is unsurprising that relational structures are to be found just about everywhere. As an example from theoretical computer science, they give labeled transition systems, which model program execution. Blackburn et al. thus claim because of this connection that modal languages are ideally suited in providing "internal, local perspective on relational structures." (p. xii)



History and terminology


Similar work that predated Kripke's revolutionary semantic breakthroughs:



  • Rudolf Carnap seems to have been the first to have the idea that one can give a possible world semantics for the modalities of necessity and possibility by means of giving the valuation function a parameter that ranges over Leibnizian possible worlds. Bayart develops this idea further, but neither gave recursive definitions of satisfaction in the style introduced by Tarski;

  • J.C.C. McKinsey and Alfred Tarski developed an approach to modeling modal logics that is still influential in modern research, namely the algebraic approach, in which Boolean algebras with operators are used as models. Bjarni Jónsson and Tarski established the representability of Boolean algebras with operators in terms of frames. If the two ideas had been put together, the result would have been precisely frame models, which is to say Kripke models, years before Kripke. But no one (not even Tarski) saw the connection at the time.


  • Arthur Prior, building on unpublished work of C. A. Meredith, developed a translation of sentential modal logic into classical predicate logic that, if he had combined it with the usual model theory for the latter, would have produced a model theory equivalent to Kripke models for the former. But his approach was resolutely syntactic and anti-model-theoretic.


  • Stig Kanger gave a rather more complex approach to the interpretation of modal logic, but one that contains many of the key ideas of Kripke's approach. He first noted the relationship between conditions on accessibility relations and Lewis-style axioms for modal logic. Kanger failed, however, to give a completeness proof for his system;


  • Jaakko Hintikka gave a semantics in his papers introducing epistemic logic that is a simple variation of Kripke's semantics, equivalent to the characterisation of valuations by means of maximal consistent sets. He doesn't give inference rules for epistemic logic, and so cannot give a completeness proof;


  • Richard Montague had many of the key ideas contained in Kripke's work, but he did not regard them as significant, because he had no completeness proof, and so did not publish until after Kripke's papers had created a sensation in the logic community;


  • Evert Willem Beth presented a semantics of intuitionistic logic based on trees, which closely resembles Kripke semantics, except for using a more cumbersome definition of satisfaction.
