Theoretical Modalities

Theoretical modalities refer to different ways of understanding or approaching a concept, especially in philosophy or science. They describe how something might be, could be, or must be—covering possibilities, capabilities, or necessities. Think of them as lenses: one might consider what is actually the case, what could be true, or what needs to be true. These modalities help clarify reasoning about reality, possibilities, and obligations, providing a structured way to analyze different perspectives or conditions related to a concept or proposition.
