Abstract
In this paper we propose the deontic logic DUS, that formalizes reasoning about prescriptive obligations in update semantics. In DUS the definition of logical validity of obligations is not based on truth values but on action dynamics. You know the meaning of a normative sentence if you know the change it brings about in the ideality relation of anyone the news conveyed by the norm applies to.
