Thanks. Alles ist Klar. I think I wasn't taking seriously enough the
idea of Kripke frames before...

Yes, but I have difficulty in _simultaneously_ interpreting logic
formulae in terms of Kripke frames and B as provability. In the
former, Bp means in all successor worlds, p is true, whereas in the
latter it means I can  prove that p is true.
How does one reconcile such disparate notions?
