| | Medieval Theories of Modality |
 | | From the point of view of the history of modal thought, interesting things took place in theology in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. | | | In some places Aristotle thought that for the purposes of argument one can separate things in thought even though they are inseparable in the world. | | | Augustine had already criticized the application of the statistical model of possibility to divine power; for him, God has freely chosen the actual world and its providential plan from alternatives which he could have realized but did not will to do (potuit sed noluit). |

| | Actualism |
| | Since it seems reasonable to want to hang on to such ordinary modal beliefs as (5), there is an apparent incompatibility between the simplest quantified modal logic and actualism. | | | Prior in [1957] was especially concerned by this, pointing out that classical quantified modal logic was "haunted by the myth that whatever exists exists necessarily." Note that NE applies even to those objects not named by a constant of the language. | | | Thus, the consequences of our ordinary modal beliefs that are valid according to the simplest quantified modal logic seems to be inconsistent with actualism. |

| | The last two points also indicate that a theory of modality making use of modal predicates is to be preferred to an account that explains away modality in terms of quantification over possible worlds. | | | It is argued that Kripke's "de re" modality, defined in terms of what is true in some possible world, no possible world and all possible worlds, is an unsatisfactory amalgam of the two. | | | Statements of the form 'There is a world at which P' are read as elliptical for 'According to the hypothesis of a plurality of worlds, there is a world at which P', the latter being no more ontological loaded than 'According to Frege's theory, there is a set of all sets'. |

| | A BRIEF GLOSSARY OF MODALITY |
| | Modal auxiliaries have ‘unverblike properties’ that distinguish them from full verbs: (i) no do-support, (ii) no SV inversion in questions, (iii) enclitic not (cannot), (iv) do not occur together (Standard English only), (v) no S:V number agreement, (vi) no participles or infinitives. | | | Epistemic modality may also be subdivided according to (i) the speaker’s judgments of necessity and possibility (including the two above categories), and (ii) evidentiality (expressed explicitly by evidentials), the evidential basis for what is said (Keifer 2517b). | | | Unlike epistemic and deontic modality it is not subjective (John can speak French, Tomorrow I will be thirty, He’ll come, if you ask him, He has to come tomorrow, You can [=’it is possible to’] smoke in here). |

| | Semiotics for Beginners: Modality and Representation |
| | Modality refers to the reality status accorded to or claimed by a sign, text or genre. | | | Whilst the seventeenth century shift in attitudes towards signs was part of a search for 'neutrality', 'objectivity' and 'truth', in more recent times, of course, we have come to recognize that 'there is no representation without intention and interpretation' (Olson 1994, 197). | | | In making sense of a text, its interpreters make 'modality judgements' about it, drawing on their knowledge of the world and of the medium. |

| | LOGI: The modality level |
| | Modalities are one of the best exhibitions of this evolutionary design pattern - ascending layers of adaptive complexity - which also appears, albeit in very different form, in the ascending code-modality-concept-thought-deliberation model of the human mind. | | | We know more about the human visual modality than about any other aspect of human neurology, but that doesn't mean we know enough to build a visual modality from scratch. | | | Abandoning the human modalities appears to introduce an additional fragile dependency on the correctness of the AI theory, in that substituting novel sensory modalities for the human ones would appear to require a correct understanding of the nature of sensory modalities and how they contribute to intelligence. |

| | Logical Consequence, Model-Theoretic Conceptions [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] |
| | One could reply that while it is metaphysically impossible for there to be merely finitely many things it is nevertheless logically possible and this is relevant to the modal notion in the concept of logical consequence. | | | For example, (3) is not, in fact, a model-theoretic consequence of (1) and (2), but it would be if there were just two things. | | | The issue of the nature of logical consequence, which intersects with other areas of philosophy, is still a matter of debate. |

| | ORB -- Introduction to Church Modes |
| | Modes also had certain moods associated with them, although which moods could vary from author to author. | | | Later genres of chant (such as the trope and the sequence), however, frequently make "textbook use" of the modal system. | | | Some melodies can be hard to classify and likely pre-date the Western modal system; they may have a range larger or smaller than the octave or ninth that theorists specify, or they may shift tonal center over the course of the piece. |

| | Aspects of Modality in Audio-Visual Processes |
| | Studies of perception investigate vision, audition, and the like mostly by focusing on the abstract content that is processed rather than on the specific contribution from the sensory modality itself. | | | Not surprisingly, approaches to information processing that are driven by mathematical formalisms have not made much room for conceptualizing the specificity or possible implications of the sensory modalities in the course of information processing. | | | Among the cases of multi-modal input that have been studied systematically, bi-modal speech perception is a prime one. |
