I 220 Problem of actuality/Field: cannot be solved by an actuality operator. >Actuality. I 222 Problem of Quantities/possible worlds/Field: with possible worlds and cross world identity we could avoid the possibility operator. >Cross word identity, >Possible worlds. FieldVs: we wanted to avoid the ontology of pace-time-regions. Possible worlds/Field: only heuristically harmless. I 249ff Ontology/theory/mathematics/Anti-Realism/Field: e.g. metalogical terms such as consistency: instead of the predicate "the theory has the property of consistency": Operator: "It is consistent that the conjunction of the axioms is true". ((s) ontologically economical: operator instead of a predicate.) >Predicates._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
