I remember your recent email re: Dunn, and
your "Ways of mapping possible worlds to contexts"
in "Knowledge Representation".
I have not read any of your papers on Dunn. (03)
I might endorse the "laws and facts" approach.
But mKR is a language that combines
Context theory and Situation theory.
I don't know if you think that Context theory
has its own acceptable form of Semantics. (04)
I browsed Amazon.com and bought four Tarski books
and two Barwise & Etchemendy books last year.
But I have only skimmed very quickly through them.
They have not reached the top of my to-do list. (05)
