Yes, I see now, thanks.

If I attempted to fix this, I would try to change (Ax3) to something like:

forall a1,a2,w1,w2 ((A=a1 => W=w1) AND (A=a2 => W=w2) AND (w1>w2)) => NOT (FinalA=a2)

where FinalA is the actual decision. But then, why should the world's axiom (Ax2) be defined in terms of A and not FinalA? This seems conceptually wrong...

Ok, I'll go read up on the posts :)
