Starting off from the usual language of modal logic for multi-agent systems dealing with the agents’ knowledge/belief and common knowledge/belief we define so-called epistemic Kripke structures for intuitionistic (common) knowledge/belief.

Then we show that under the condition that the knowledge operators of the players in a knowledge-belief space operate just on measurable subsets of the space there is a unique (up to isomorphism) universal knowledge-belief space to which every knowledge-belief space...
