false	A Modal Logic of Optimality (Student Abstract)	James T. Oswald Brandon Rozek Thomas Macaulay Ferguson Selmer Bringsjord	2025-04-11	2025/04/11	AAAI Conference on Artificial Intelligence		10.1609/aaai.v39i28.35286	39	29456	29458	English	https://ojs.aaai.org/index.php/AAAI/article/view/35286/37441	We present our work on a new modal logic of optimality, OPT, whose semantics are modeled in terms of optimal paths through reward-weighted transition systems. We prove some basic properties of OPT, including its status as a normal modal logic, as well as its relation to some of the standard modal axioms. We end with a discussion of applications to AI and future research directions and extensions.
