The arbitrary modal-combination derivability conjecture

About 8 years old · traced to

Let Δ\Delta, ∇\nabla, ∙\bullet, and ∘\circ denote the contingency, accident, and their dual modal operators in the bimodal logic under consideration. For m∈Nm\in\mathbb{N}, let ♡\heartsuit be any combination of Δ\Delta, ∇\nabla, ∙\bullet, ∘\circ, and negation. Arbitrary modal-combination conjecture. The logic should derive

⊢Δφ→Δm♡φ\vdash\Delta\varphi\to\Delta^m\heartsuit\varphi

for all m∈Nm\in\mathbb{N} such that m≥1m\geq 1. This is a conjectural generalization of the preceding derivability claim to arbitrary combinations of the listed operators; the supplied text gives no resolution status beyond presenting it as a conjecture.
