Additional notes

The two sequences of subalternations in this Lenzen sigma-4 look as follows:

$\triangle^*(A,B) \to \triangle(A,B) \to \blacktriangle(A,B) \to \blacktriangle^*(A,B)$

$\triangledown^*(A,B) \to \triangledown(A,B) \to \blacktriangledown(A,B) \to \blacktriangledown^*(A,B)$


P. 81:

$\triangle(A,B) := \Diamond A \wedge (\Box(A \to B) \vee \Box(A \to \neg B))$, meaning that $A$ is permitted and $B$ is normatively determined by $A$

$\triangle^*(A,B) := \Box A \wedge (\Box(A \to B) \vee \Box(A \to \neg B))$, meaning that $A$ is obligatory and $B$ is normatively determined by $A$

$\blacktriangle(A,B) := \Diamond A \to (\Box(A \to B) \vee \Box(A \to \neg B))$, meaning that if $A$ is permitted, then $B$ is normatively determined by $A$

$\blacktriangle^*(A,B) := \Box A \to (\Box(A \to B) \vee \Box(A \to \neg B))$, meaning that if $A$ is obligatory, then $B$ is normatively determined by $A$

$\triangledown(A,B) := \Diamond A \wedge (\Diamond(A \wedge B) \wedge \Diamond(A \wedge \neg B))$, meaning that $A$ is permitted and $B$ is not normatively determined by $A$

$\triangledown^*(A,B) := \Box A \wedge (\Diamond(A \wedge B) \wedge \Diamond(A \wedge \neg B))$, meaning that $A$ is obligatory and $B$ is not normatively determined by $A$

$\blacktriangledown(A,B) := \Diamond A \to (\Diamond(A \wedge B) \wedge \Diamond(A \wedge \neg B))$, meaning that if $A$ is permitted, then $B$ is not normatively determined by $A$

$\blacktriangledown^*(A,B) := \Box A \to (\Diamond(A \wedge B) \wedge \Diamond(A \wedge \neg B))$, meaning that if $A$ is obligatory, then $B$ is not normatively determined by $A$
