    Part of a larger discussion

    Supports→The possibilist commitments of an intended KQML interpretation cannot be eliminated by the fact that the sentence 'there exist things that are not actual' is false at every world in KQML

    If KQML's intended interpretation assigns non-actual possibilia as semantic values to terms or as domain elements, actualist paraphrase within the object language leaves those assignments intact.

    Key Terms

    Domain elements(as the basic building blocks in a probability system)
    The individual things or possibilities you're studying—like different outcomes in an experiment, or different items in a group.
    KQML(Presented as an actualist alternative to SQML)
    A Kripke-style quantified modal logic that invalidates the Barcan Formula (BF), its converse (CBF), and BoxN by assigning to each world a variable domain of individuals actual at that world
    Non-actual(as used in metaphysics)
    Imaginary or hypothetical; something that doesn't exist in the real world but could be conceived of or mathematically described.
    Semantic values(as used in philosophy of language)
    The actual meanings that words or expressions carry—what a word refers to or stands for in the world.
    actualist paraphrase
