countermodels.com Visit website
Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An interactive site for checking propositional and modal arguments, searching for countermodels, and drawing Kripke frames.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-18 issue.
For
Modal logic students, teachers, and formal reasoning enthusiasts
Worth noticing
Four unrestricted worlds produce 65,536 possible accessibility relations before valuation search is added.

Field notes

The site separates classical truth-table evaluation from modal evaluation over Kripke models, with selectable frame conditions ranging from K to S5. Its playground exposes the underlying objects directly: worlds, accessibility relations, and valuations can be manipulated on a canvas, then copied or downloaded as PNG. The accompanying explanation distinguishes a finite countermodel search from a proof of validity over all possible frames, an important limitation for anyone using the tool pedagogically.
