Thank you for the remarks. Admittedly, I haven't tried to be very precise 
in theorem comments, for the most part their goal is to provide at least 
some intuition for the symbols. I'll wait for a bit in case others (or you) 
have other remarks, so I'll update the file all in one go.

> But that is false. The necessitation rule actually says: if something (to 
be true) is a theorem (i.e. provable from only axioms, no premises), then 
it to be necessary (necessarily true) is also a theorem.

I'm a bit reluctant to use "provable" here as the box symbol is later 
interpreted as "provable in PA". I can rephrase the comment as follows "Any 
theorem of logic is necessary", this is the motivation used by Standford's 
encyclopedia of philosophy <https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/logic-modal/>
.

> "Turns out this axiom is true in GL, hence GL extends K4." should 
probably read "valid" rather than "true".

Again, to avoid loaded terms, I can rephrase it as "Turns out this axiom 
*holds* in GL ...". Is that okay?
