Epistemic Logic with Agentically Non-rigid Designators

Abstract The article introduces chained designators, like “my buddy’s boss’s buddy”, into epistemic logic and gives a sound and complete axiomatization of a knowledge modality parameterized by such designators. It also studies the expressive power of the proposed modality.
