Researchers have developed a new impossibility theorem for combining modal judgments, demonstrating that Arrow-type impossibilities can emerge even in simplified modal logic settings. The study focuses on aggregating judgments about modal propositions rather than simple factual ones, showing that semantic structure alone can create the necessary logical interconnections for dictatorship. The analysis involves a semantic reduction theorem and a mechanism linking frame geometry to minimally inconsistent modal judgment sets, which also enables efficient aggregation procedures. AI
