  Modal Fictionalism (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Modal fictionalism should be of interest to those concerned with the metaphysics of modality, since theories committed to the literal existence of possible worlds (and, even more worryingly, the literal existence of merely possible objects ‘contained’ in these worlds) come at a cost, both to economy and to many people's intuitions.
Modal fictionalists often focus on the claim that possible worlds are merely fictional entities, and apparent commitment to possible worlds is to be explained in the same sort of way that apparent commitment to ideal gases or frictionless surfaces is to be explained.
Unfortunately, modal fictionalists have often not been explicit about whether their theory is to be an analysis of the possible-worlds talk and perhaps modal discourse which is actually employed, or a normative suggestion about how we might move to a superior theory.

In user interface design, a modal window is a child window created by a parent application, usually a dialog, which has to be closed before the user can continue to operate the application.

 Dialog box - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dialog boxes are special windows which are used by computer programs or by the operating system to display information to the user, or to get a response if needed.
Modal dialog boxes are those which temporarily halt the program in the sense that the user cannot continue until the dialog has been closed: the program may require some additional information before it can continue, or may simply wish to confirm that the user wants to proceed with a potentially dangerous course of action.
Recently, the concept of a document modal dialog has been used, most notably in Mac OS X where they are shown as sheets attached to a parent window.

 Modal Logic (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)
Modal logic is, strictly speaking, the study of the deductive behavior of the expressions ‘it is necessary that’ and ‘it is possible that’.
For this reason, there is no one modal logic, but rather a whole family of systems built around M. The relationship between these systems is diagrammed in Section 8, and their application to different uses of ‘necessarily’ and ‘possibly’ can be more deeply understood by studying their possible world semantics in Section 6.
The most general way to formulate quantified modal logic is to create FS by adding the rules of FL to a given propositional modal logic S. In situations where classical quantification is desired, one may simply add Et as an axiom to FS, so that the classical principles become derivable rules.

 How to Add a Child Window to a PythonCard Application
There are two types of child windows: those that require the user to stop any other activity and pay attention only to the current window (modal) and windows that allow simultaneous interaction with the main window (non-modal or modeless).
With a modal window, users can choose to cancel, they can respond to a message, or they can set parameters and assign values to content in the active application.
Notice that we reference components in the child window by a collection of objects starting with the main application (self) and then pointing first to the child window, then to its components property, then to the specific component, then to the property of that component we wish to change.
