    Situations where you have to give up something you want in order to get something else you want—you can't have both.
    adequate(Modal logic)
    A system is adequate for a class of frames when it is both sound and complete with respect to validity over that class
    definition(Standard philosophical conception of what a definition must accomplish)
    Something that provides necessary and sufficient conditions for some thing x to be F
    knowledge(Distinguished from mere true belief, which may be the product of indoctrination and need not exercise deliberative capacities.)
