Possible worlds by Ryan

"three types of worlds can be defined as follows:
1. The possible worlds imagined and asserted by the author. These worlds correspond to all the states of the fabula.
2. The possible subworlds that are imagined, believed, wished, and so on by the characters of the fabula.
3. The possible worlds that, at every disjunction of probability, the Model Reader imagines, believes, wishes, and so on, and that further states of the fabula must either approve or disapprove."


if       A          then  B exists.

1. A could be multiple
2. A comes from the author
3. A comes from the characters
4. A comes from the readers
