Possible world

A possible world is a complete and consistent way the world is or could have been. Possible worlds are widely used as a formal device in logic, philosophy, and linguistics in order to provide a semantics for intentional and modal logic. Their metaphysical status has been a subject of controversy in philosophy, with modal realists arguing that they are literally existing alternate realities, and others arguing that they are not.
