STIT (sees to it that) semantics is one of the most prominent tools in modal logic of agency, widely used among both philosophers and responsible AI scholars. STIT logic surveys the properties of agents seeing to it that some state of affairs holds without specifying concrete actions by which that state of affairs is guaranteed. In comparison with other multi-agent modal logics, the main advantage of STIT theories is expressive power. STIT logic allows to study not only statements about agents' abilities to perform certain actions (as it is in variations of Coalition Logic or Propositional Dynamic Logic), but about what choices they make and what they de-facto achieve as well. Nevertheless, in some occasions such expressivity may be redundant. This paper surveys a specific fragment of classical STIT logic, which has only strategic modal operator [i]φ , what stands for the fact that agent i has an ability to see to it that φ holds. The neighbourhood semantics for the fragment is presented, accompanied with the soundness, canoniciy hence strong completeness results. Furthermore, the paper presents basic considerations on epistemic extension of the presented fragment.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
