I can't see your scheme without registering to Facebook,
Can you see it here in Google Groups? https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/lojban/8dgqqPo_36g
but "ca'a"
("actually") is not the same as ""bi'ai"="naka'ena" ("necessarily").
OK. I agree. Can you somehow add ca'a to this or any other scheme describing possible worlds?

If something is necessarily the case, then it must be actually the
case, but not the other way around. You may hold a philosophical
position that says that everything that is the case is necessarily so
(i.e. it could not have been any different), but linguistically it
doesn't work, because we can and do talk about how things could have
been different. If everything necessarily had to be the way it is,
nothing could have been different.
