Additional notes

This diagram assumes the modal logic KD in the background (otherwise, the subalternations marked with 'D' would not hold). But working in KD also means that $\Box \wedge \Box\neg$ is a contradiction and that $\neg\Box \vee \neg\Box\neg$ is a tautology. In other words, this diagram explicitly contains two non-contingent formulas (apart from those two, it is a JSB sigma-3).
