Summary/Abstract: The purpose of the current paper is to develop the beginning of logical calculation for a first variant of actional impossibility interpretation. It is about the interpretation by modal logic. Human action requires several kinds of ability. A special kind of them is the ability to stand against the acts or forbearances ability of the others. That is to create the actional impossibility by an action agent for another one. This can be interpreted in two ways: as actional impossibility by modal operators and as a lack of ability. In this article we deal with actional impossibility by modal operators. This means a shift through modal concepts as necessary and şi possible. It also means the appeal to the set of possible worlds. And involves at least two drawbacks: contradiction and circularity. As such it remains to try the other interpretation: the lack of ability. Which is also, an opening for a further concern.
