Key Points

  • The study defines and analyzes structural resolution in the context of the Modal-Dependence Calculus.
  • Defined structural resolution as a system-level property.
  • Examined the relationship between resolution and the output of the evaluation operator.
  • Analyzed conditions leading to resolution failure in relation to dependence paths.
  • Established that resolution occurs if a structure is admissible.
  • Identified resolution failure as linked to undefined dependence paths.
  • Found that the failure state remains unchanged when the structure is extended.

Abstract

This paper defines structural resolution as a system-level property in the Modal-Dependence Calculus. Resolution is identified with the output of the evaluation operator, such that a structure is resolved if and only if it is admissible. The analysis establishes that resolution failure occurs whenever a single element lacks a defined dependence path, and that this failure state is invariant under extension of the structure. These results show that resolution is a binary, non-compensatory property determined entirely by element-level definability.
