def Semantics.Attitudes.Parasitic.isParasiticOn {W : Type u_1} {E : Type u_2} (nonDoxAccess : EWWBool) (doxAccess : Doxastic.AccessRel W E) :

A non-doxastic attitude is parasitic on a doxastic one when its presupposition computation uses the doxastic accessibility relation rather than its own.

Formally: for presupposition filtering under the non-doxastic attitude, we check whether the presupposition holds at all worlds accessible via the doxastic relation.

Instances For

    A preferential predicate is parasitic on a doxastic predicate when the preferential predicate's presupposition filtering defers to the doxastic accessibility relation.

      The list of attitude verbs that are parasitic on belief.

      These are non-doxastic attitudes whose presupposition filtering uses the belief accessibility relation.

          Hope is parasitic on belief.

          When "X believes P and hopes Q", the presuppositions of Q are filtered using X's belief state, not X's hope state.

                The parasitic dependency is asymmetric.

                Non-doxastic attitudes depend on doxastic ones for presupposition filtering, but NOT vice versa.

                This explains Karttunen's observation:

                • believe → hope: hope uses belief's accessibility → filtering works
                • hope → believe: belief uses its own accessibility → no filtering
                Instances For

                  The filtering direction determines which sequences work.

                  Filtering can occur in "believe P and hope Q" but not "hope P and believe Q".

                          When Bill believes Fred was beating, hope's presupposition is satisfied.

                          At worlds where Bill believes Fred was beating, ALL his belief-accessible worlds satisfy the presupposition of "stop".

                          At worlds where Bill doesn't believe Fred was beating, the presupposition of "stop" fails in Bill's belief worlds.

                          The local context for a parasitic attitude embedded under belief.

                          When we have "X believes P and hopes Q", the local context for Q is computed from X's belief state (not a separate hope accessibility).

                              This shows that parasitic attitudes use the same local context machinery as belief embedding itself.

                                The key insight: parasitic attitudes compute presupposition filtering using presupAttributedToHolder from BeliefEmbedding.

                                This unifies the treatment: both "X believes P" and "X hopes P" (when hope is parasitic on belief) use the same local context machinery.
