Z is what the machine can say about the []p & <>t points of view (like the bet that you will have coffee in the modified step 3 protocol).[]coffee means you get coffee in all consistent extensions (which in this protocol are W and M), and <>t is the explicit conditioning that there is at least one consistent extension, which does not follow from []p due to incompleteness. You can see that []p & <>t is a weakening of the []p & p move. Incompleteness forces the machine to provides different logics for those nuances.

I don't understand this use of "consistent". At first I thought it meant logical consistency, i.e. not proving false.

That is what I mean.


But in the above you use it as though it meant something like nomologically consistent.

I don't see why. I use the completeness theorem. A theory/machine is consistent iff it admits a model. To be consistent = having a "reality" satisfying or verifying the beliefs.

PS I will have to go. Some other posts could be commented tomorrow.
