Résumé
This paper explores the philosophical implications of Resolution Matrix Semantics (RMS) as an alternative foundation for modal logic. Unlike traditional Kripkean models, which interpret modality through relations between multiple possible worlds governed by classical logic, RMS treats indeterminate truth values as fundamental, operating within a single world. RMS introduces "blinking" truth assignments and sub-interpretations to resolve uncertainty, capturing the inherently poly-logical nature of human thought. Drawing a parallel to quantum physics, we argue that Kripke models resemble Everett’s Many-Worlds interpretation, while RMS aligns with the Copenhagen interpretation’s emphasis on intrinsic uncertainty. RMS offers a new view of modal reasoning—not as a proliferation of worlds, but as a diversification of perspectives within one world. The framework’s philosophical significance is examined through connections to poly-logic thinking, quantum cognitive models, and potential applications in artificial intelligence and parallel computing. RMS ultimately provides a dynamic, pluralistic model for rationality that better reflects the complexity of human cognition and decision-making under uncertainty.
