This is what I thought you said the "meta-axiom" stated?
How else do we get p/[]p for Kripke semantics?
Because if p is true in all worlds, then []p is true in all worlds
OK?
No. I didn't say that. p means p is true in a world. p true in all
worlds would be written []p.
But in logic, if p appears in a deduction, p is true in all worlds.
You mean if p is a tautology. It may be a deduction from premises that are not true in
all worlds. Is Russell thinking of p="Socrates is mortal" while you're thinking of p="If
all men are mortal and Socrates is a man then Socrates is mortal."
Take as example a formalization of classical propositional calculus. The axioms have to
be tautologies,
An axiom is just a proposition taken to be true for purposes of inference. Why can't
"Socrates is a man" be an axiom?

and so are true in all worlds (valuations, interpretation). The modus ponens concerves
tautologicalness, so all theorems (the formula appearing in the deduction) are true in
all worlds.
And p/[]p means that if p is true in all worlds (like if it is proved) then []p is true
in all worlds.
If you want to mean that p is true in a world, or the actual world, you can say it, but
not in deduction. Usually you will name that world, by saying that p is true in alpha,
at some meta level.
