Extract

In this paper we introduce a system S5U, formed by addingto the modal system S5 a new connective U, Up being read“probably”. A few theorems are derived in S5U, and thesystem is provided with a decision procedure. Several decidable extensionsof S5U are discussed, and probability logic is related toplurality quantification.
