MY point is that it is identical to the way you extend
Kripke semantics to full modal predicate logic. (02)

It's there. For each possible world, you select a traditional
Tarski-style model for the laws and facts of that world. (04)
That gives you a Tarski-style quantificational semantics
of those laws and facts. (05)

The most important feature of Dunn's semantics is the definition
of the accessibility relation in terms of the laws and facts.
That is what makes his system more intuitive. (07)
Instead of a truth-value semantics for those laws and facts,
I would represent each world by a Tarski-style model for those
laws and facts. (08)
