I understand that when folks say "modal logic" in this context, they're generally referring to model logics that implicitly quantify over poorly-defined spaces. However, that's not what all modal logics are like...

Consider my eyes opened.

Equivalently: you can use whatever logical operators you like, if you can define the operator's meaning without reference to the operator.

This is my problem with the modal logics I have encountered - bad or unclear definitions of the modal operators.
