    It is not the case that Omnipotence is defined by its modal relation to possible states of affairs, while omniscience is defined by its relation to propositions—these are irreducibly distinct intentional structures.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Possible states of affairs just are what true propositions describe. Distinguishing them treats notation as ontology rather than alternative expression.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Both omnipotence and omniscience require grasping the complete modal space. Their intentional structures converge at the level of what could-be-the-case.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The claim assumes propositions and states are distinct entities, but this conflates semantic content with metaphysical fundamentals without justification.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Omnipotence concerns ability to actualize states; omniscience concerns truth-value awareness. These target fundamentally different ontological categories.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Propositions have truth-conditions independent of power; possible states require causal or modal agency. Their intentional structures are irreducibly distinct.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.A being could know all truths without being able to actualize contradictory states, showing knowledge and power involve separate modal relations.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
