Long descriptions for some figures in Deontic Logic
Figure 2 description
A square with the four corners labeled in clockwise order as Necessary, Impossible, Non-Necessary, and Possible. The legend describes four types of lines:
- Implication [arrowed line],
- Contraries [dotted blue line],
- Subcontraries [green line],
- Contradictories [dashed purple lines].
Implication lines connect Necessary to Possible and Impossible to Non-Necessary. A Contraries line connects Necessary and Impossible. A Subcontraries line connects Possible and Non-Necessary. Contradictories lines connect Necessary and Non-Necessary and also Impossible and Possible.
Figure 4 description
A square with the four corners labeled in clockwise order as Obligatory, Impermissible, Omissible, and Permissible. Assuming the legend from figure 2 Implication lines connect Obligatory to Permissible and Impermissible to Omissible. A Contraries line connects Obligatory and Impermissible. A Subcontraries line connects Permissible and Omissible. Contradictories lines connect Obligatory and Omissible and also Impermissible and Permissible.
Figure 5 description
A hexagon with the corners labeled clockwise as
- OBp
- IMp
- NOp
- OMp
- PEp
- OPp
Using the same legend as figure 2, the following lines connect each corner to all the others
- Implication [arrowed line],
- OBp (corner 1) to NOp (corner 3)
- OBp (corner 1) to PEp (corner 5)
- IMp (corner 2) to NOp (corner 3)
- IMp (corner 2) to OMp (corner 4)
- OPp (corner 6) to OMp (corner 4)
- OPp (corner 6) to PEp (corner 5)
- Contraries [dotted blue line],
- OBp and IMp (corners 1 and 2)
- OBp and OPp (corners 1 and 6)
- IMp and OPp (corners 2 and 6)
- Subcontraries [green line],
- NOp and OMp (corners 3 and 4)
- NOp and PEp (corners 3 and 5)
- PEp and OMp (corners 4 and 5)
- Contradictories [dashed purple lines].
- OBp and OMp (corners 1 and 4)
- IMp and PEp (corners 2 and 5)
- NOp and OPp (corners 3 and 6)
Figure 6 description
A square with the four corners labeled in clockwise order as
- All x:p
- No x:p
- Some x:p
- Some x:¬p
Assuming the legend from figure 2 Implication lines connect corner 1 to corner 4 and corner 2 to corner 3. A Contraries line connects corners 1 and 2. A Subcontraries line connects corners 3 and 4. Contradictories lines connect corners 1 and 3 and also corners 2 and 4.
Figure 7 description
Three boxes containg respectively the phrases:
- All x:p
- Some x:p & Some x:¬p
- No x:p
The first and second are braced as “Some x:p”. The second and third are braced as “Some x:¬p”.
Figure 8 description
A diagram of six boxes in a row. All boxes have a blue dot at the bottom and Ai below.
- first box is labeled “OBp:” and contains “All p”
- second box is labeled “PEp:” and contains “Some p”
- third box is labeled “IMp:” and contains “No p”
- fourth box is labeled “OMp:” and contains “Some ¬p”
- fifth box is labeled “OPp:” and contains “Some p and Some ¬p”
- sixth box is labeled “NOp:” and contains “All p or No p”
Figure 10 description
A vertical bar with three vertical dots below it. The top of the bar is labelled OBp: and an arrow pointing to the top of the bar is labelled “all p-worlds here”. A brace encloses both the bar and the dots and is labelled “the i-ranked worlds (the higher the level, the better the worlds within it, relative to i)”.
Figure 11 description
A diagram of two boxes in a row. All boxes have Ri below.
- The first box has “NECp;” above and “All p” inside.
- The second box has “POSp;” above and “Some p” inside.
Figure 12 description
A diagram of one box which has “d: DEM” above and a blue dot labelled j inside.
Figure 13 description
Two overlapping blue boxes. In the intersection of the two boxes is a blue dot. Above both is “POSd: DEM”; below both is “Ri”.
Figure 14 description
Six pairs of two overlapping blue boxes. Below each pair is “Ri”. Each pair also has a blue dot in the intersection of the two boxes.
- first pair is labelled “OBp: DEM” and has the blue dot labelled “All p”.
- second pair is labelled “PEp: DEM” and has the blue dot labelled “Some p”.
- third pair is labelled “IMp: DEM” and has the blue dot labelled “No p”.
- fourth pair is labelled “OMp: DEM” and has the blue dot labelled “Some ¬p”.
- fifth pair is labelled “OPp: DEM” and has the blue dot labelled “Some p and Some ¬p”.
- sixth pair is labelled “NOp: DEM” and has the blue dot labelled “All p or No p”.
Long descriptions for some figures in the supplement to Deontic Logic
Figure D.1 description
A graph of three dots: i,j,k.
- first dot is labelled i. There is the comment “So ¬OB(OBp→p)”.
- second dot is labelled j and has ¬p above it. There is the comment “So OBp and ¬(OBp→p)”.
- third dot is labelled k and has p above it. There is no comment.
An arrow points from dot i to dot j and another from dot j to dot k. An arrow also points from dot k back to itself.
Figure D.2 description
A graph of four dots: i,j,k,l. Similar to figure D.1.
- first dot is labelled i. There is the comment “So OBOBp→OBp and ¬OB(OBp→p)”.
- second dot is labelled j and has ¬p above it. There is the comment “So ¬(OBp→p)”.
- third dot is labelled k and has p above it. There is no comment.
- fourth dot is labelled l.
An arrow points from dot i to dot j and another from dot j to dot k. An arrow also points from dot k back to itself. In addition an arrow points from dot i to dot l and another from dot l to dot j.
