Forms: form: more Sybaritic

Etymology: Learned borrowing from Latin Sybarīticus (“of or pertaining to Sybaris or its inhabitants”) + English -ic (suffix meaning ‘of or pertaining to’, forming adjectives from nouns). Sybarīticus is derived from Ancient Greek Συβαρῑτικός (Subarītikós), from Σῠβᾰρῑ́της (Sŭbărī́tēs, “(noun) inhabitant of Sybaris; (adjective) decadent; self-indulgent”) (from Σῠ́βᾰρῐς (Sŭ́bărĭs, “Sybaris”) + -ῑ́της (-ī́tēs, suffix forming demonyms)) + -κός (-kós, suffix meaning ‘of or pertaining to’, forming adjectives). The English word is analysable as Sybarite (“inhabitant of Sybaris”) + -ic. Sybaris, a city of Magna Graecia (the coastal parts of Sicily and southern Italy once colonized by Greek settlers), was known for its wealth and the excesses and hedonism of its inhabitants.

Kripke model
Language: English
Part of speech: noun
Forms: form: Kripke models
Etymology: Named after Saul Kripke.
Senses: examples: A formula is intuitionistically valid iff it is forced true by every world of every Kripke model.
A terminal world of a Kripke model (for intuitionistic logic) has a forcing relation equivalent to a classical model/interpretation.
If a given world (in a Kripke model (for intuitionistic logic)) forces neither A nor ¬A then there is some possible "future" world (accessible from the "present" one) in which A is forced true. In particular, if A eventually becomes forced somewhere along any possible time thread (towards the "future"), then the present world would force ¬¬A to be true, but if this does not happen there there exists some possible future world in which ¬A becomes true.
topics: human-sciences
logic
mathematics
philosophy
sciences
glosses: A Kripke frame together with any one of the following: (1) a function associating each of the frame's worlds to a set of prime formulae which are "true" for the given world, (2) a function associating each prime formula to a set of worlds for which the prime formula is "true", (3) a forcing relation between worlds and prime formulae. Additionally, there is a set of rules for deducing (from the given function or relation) what formulae are forced to be true by a given world. (The set of rules depends on which logic the Kripke model is being applied to, whether one of several modal logics or intuitionistic logic). For intuitionistic logic the forcing relation satisfies a persistence relation, namely, if world w forces proposition p, then all worlds accessible from w also force p.
