contents BS4 is a natural Belnapian conservative extension of Lewis modal system S4 via strong negation. In [24] it was proved that the translation TB that naturally generalises the Godel-Tarski translation T embeds faithfully Nelsons logic N4 into BS4. So it is natural to define a modal companion of a logic extending N4 as an extension of BS4. In this paper we construct a representation of an N4-lattice similar to the representation of a Heyting algebra as an open elements algebra for a suitable topoboolean algebra. Using this algebraic result we construct a wide class of N4- extensions, elements of which have modal companions. In particular, all N3- extensions have modal companions. Also we prove that there are a continuum of N4- extensions that have no modal companions.

BS4 is a natural Belnapian conservative extension of Lewis modal system S4 via strong negation.

In this paper we construct a representation of an N4-lattice similar to the representation of a Heyting algebra as an open elements algebra for a suitable topoboolean algebra. Using this algebraic result we construct a wide class of N4- extensions, elements of which have modal companions. In particular, all N3- extensions have modal companions.
