Abstract

The word “conditional” contains “condition”. So, a conditional is a structure of the form “if condition c holds, then so will property p”. Thus, conditionals seem to be at least always binary. But the condition may be hidden in additional structure (such as a Kripke model relation or a preferential relation). Thus, we will also include unary structures.
