And as I've said many times before, it's all in my KR book.
Just read the book, and you'll understand it all.

If that's too much to ask, you can start with my paper on contexts,
which is still unfinished, but the first four sections, which are
finished will give you the proper perspective on modality and how
to represent it in the SUO:

This is a somewhat clearer statement with a few more examples
of what I say in Ch 5 of the KR book.
