Definition 1.4.15 (Forcing relation). Let (S,≤,⊩) be a Kripke model for a propositional language. We define the extended forcing relation inductively as follows:

  • There is no s∈S with s⊩⊥;

  • s⊩φ∧ψ if and only if s⊩φ and s⊩ψ;

  • s⊩φ∨ψ if and only if s⊩φ or s⊩ψ;

  • s⊩(φ→ψ) if and only if s′⊩φ implies s′⊩ψ for every s′≥s.
