Summary: This chapter is an attempt to collect under one roof all currently available facts related to logic $${\mathbf{KM }}$$. Discovered as an equational class of the corresponding algebras, it has been developed as a natural intuitionistic counterpart of provability logic $$\mathbf{GL}$$. We also outline the background, the work of thought, which had preceded and eventually had led to the birth of $${\mathbf{KM }}$$. Where the results are new, the proofs are provided. Sometimes we derive conclusions, if they can be easily obtained from key results.
For the entire collection see [Zbl 1291.03006].
