STIT logic is a prominent framework for the analysis of multi-agent choice-making. In the available deontic extensions of STIT, the principle of Ought-implies-Can (OiC) fulfills a central role. However, in the philosophical literature a variety of alternative OiC interpretations have been proposed and discussed. This paper provides a modular framework for deontic STIT that accounts for a multitude of OiC readings. In particular, we discuss, compare, and formalize ten such readings. We provide sound and complete sequent-style calculi for all of the various STIT logics accommodating these OiC principles. We formally analyze the resulting logics and discuss how the different OiC principles are logically related. In particular, we propose an endorsement principle describing which OiC readings logically commit one to other OiC readings.

This paper is an appendix to the paper "Cut-free Calculi and Relational Semantics for Temporal STIT logics" by Berkel and Lyon, 2019. It provides the completeness proof for the basic STIT logic Ldm (relative to irreflexive, temporal Kripke STIT frames) as well as gives the derivation of the independence of agents axiom for the logic Xstit.
