Abstract: When is a proposition true at a location, whether a time, a place or a world? And what is it for a proposition to be true exactly at a given location, as opposed to being true all over or entirely within that location? We develop a unified modal framework for these distinctions designed to capture a family of locational relations for propositions, but we find that exact location is resistant to this treatment. We argue that to be true exactly at a location is not just a matter of what pattern of truth across locations a proposition may exemplify.
