But distinguishable things are not necessarily distinguishable. Distinctions may be missing in other possible worlds. For that, we need an asymmetrical accessibility relation. That means you cannot look back. Information about the distinction is lost. >Accessibility. I 160 Solution: timeliness operator/Williamson/(s): in the actual world ... the information about each possible world accessible from the actual world is reflected in the actual world and therefore also in every other possible world in the model. I 156f Distinguishability/diversity/Stalnaker: in contrast, necessary diversity in the standard semantics is valid - but not in the counterpart theory. >Counterpart theory.}, note = { Stalnaker I R.
