EVERYONE KNOWS THAT SOMEONE KNOWS
... An example of a universally true formula in our language is ∀x (2x ∃y 2y φ → 2x φ), where variable y does not occur in formula φ. Informally, this statement means “if agent x knows that somebody knows φ, then agent x herself knows φ”. We show that this statement is derivable in our logical system in ...

... To know the truth value of the propositional formula (A ∧ B) → C, we need to know the truth values of the propositional variables A, B, C. For example, if A, C are true and B is false, then (A ∧ B) → C is true. The formula A ∧ B is false because B is false, and any implication, whose premises is fa ...
