In this paper properties of an originally introduced idea of epistemic satisfaction relation are discussed. It is assumed that this relation defines states of artificial cognition in which particular cases of modal conjunctions are well grounded. Presented theorems show that the epistemic satisfaction preserves the desirable similarity between artificially realized grounding and its natural counterpart known from the context of natural language discourse. The most important conclusion is that as regards to the set of modal conjunctions it is possible to develop an artificial cognitive agent that is able to carry out semantic communication reflecting the natural language communication. In order to achieve this property the artificial cognitive agent needs to be equipped with a certain system modality thresholds.
