Abstract

An algebraic variant of multi-context logic is considered as an alternative to existing logical accounts of fictional discourse. An associative and idempotent operator on reified fictions supercedes Woods' olim modality. Soundness and completeness results are obtained for certain inter-fictional deductive rules relative to semantical conditions which respect the 'authorial say-so' criterion of fictional truth.
