 Recently, the puzzles related to \(\OB\)-NEC, Inheritance, and Deontic Explosion have been taken to reflect a more general (alleged) feature of deontic modals, i.e., their hyperintensionality. In the syntactic sense, a modal operator is hyperintensional if it is not closed under the replacement of classical, truth-functionally equivalent formulas. On this view, \(\OB p\) is, e.g., not equivalent to \(\OB\) \(((p \amp q) \vee(p \amp \neg q))\), even if the truth of \(p\) always coincides with the truth of \((p \amp q) \vee(p \amp \neg q)\). Semantically, this means that such an operator cannot be interpreted as an intensional modal operator, using (classical) possible-worlds semantics.
