npub14euckequu3krttkqcf7ru465getd52aw9wzrp95mqnchq7g6e2esrjvx4x (npub14eu…vx4x) that is the modal logic point of you in a way. All complete coherent sets of statements, form a possible world. Truth is relative to a world. That is a proposition P is a set of possible world. It is true at a world w if w is a world in P.
Consider
P = bblfish is in Munich
There are many ways the world could be and P be true. There is a world in which it is raining now in Munich and there is a world in which it’s not raining in Munich and I am there. There is a world in which there are n grains of sand on a beach in Normandy and P is true and there is a world in which the number of grains n+1….
Information in so far as it is syntactic is just a set of sentences. Let’s assume these have a conventional interpretation in a language L: that is a mapping of sentences to sets of possible worlds. Whether a sentence is true or not depends on where the actual world is. Therefore, we cannot just by looking at sentences find out if they are true or not, unless they are mathematical statements and so true at all possible worlds.
In so far as disinformation is related to truth or falsity, it can only be determined whether it is true or not by looking at the world.
So part of the answer then is that we cannot determine if some sentences phi is disinformation just by looking at the sentence phi.
