The words "necessarily" and "possibly" do not denote extensional sets. — Leontiskos

The trouble with Tarski's system is that there is but one domain, and one interpretation. Kripke's move was to notice that if we consider multiple domains and interpretations, we can use Tarski's approach to analyse modal statements....a Tarskian interpretation fixes the domain of quantification and the extensions of all the predicates. Pretty clearly, however, to capture necessity and possibility, one must be able to consider alternative “possible” domains of quantification and alternative “possible” extensions for predicates as well. — From Tarskian to Possible World Semantics.
