@Swaraj Dash , I was looking around at some papers and the impression I'm getting is that the notion of 'possible worlds' that BLOG uses is unrelated to the 'possible worlds' in relational models for modal logic or lewis sphere models for counterfactual logic. Is this correct? or am I looking at the wrong stuff?

That is correct as far as I understand it - a possible world in BLOG is just a draw from a point process. What one can nicely do in BLOG is define potentially fairly complicated point processes, which give rise to interesting possible worlds.
