Modal logic
In
formal logic, a modal logic is any
logic for handling
modalities: concepts like
possibility,
existence, and
necessity. Logics for handling a number of other ideas, such as eventually, formerly, can, could, might, may, must are by extension also called modal logics, since it turns out that these can be treated in similar ways.
