Yes, you can read that in that way, but you get only the 3-view of
the 1-view.

Let us define [o]p by Bp & p

I am just pointing on the difference between B([o]p) and [o]([o]p).

Isn't B(Bp)=Bp so:

Bp -> B(Bp)

but B(Bp) does not necessarly imply Bp.

?? That seems like strange logic. How, in classical logic, can you prove that p is provable and yet not conclude that p is provable. I understand that the set of true propositions is bigger than the provable propositions, but I don't see that the set of provably provable propositions is smaller than the provable propositions?






B(Bp & p)  =?   B(Bp & p) & (Bp & P)

Why would that be? [o](Bp & p) = B(Bp & p) & (Bp & p), but not B(Bp & p), because B(Bp & p) does not imply Bp & p.

Not that I wrote =? meaning "is it equal?", not asserting it was equal, and I concluded below they were not equal.

Bp  =?  Bp & p  -> false


And so, this does not follow. (Keep in mind that Bp does not imply p, from the machine's point of view). Think about Bf, if it implies f, we would have that the machine would know that ~Bf, and knows that she is consistent. She can't, if she is correct.
