Oops, I was a little bit too fast:

  not u == ~p+ & ~p-

So we probably need the u costant as well.

Or we can do the following trick. Instead that
we derive from theory T, a formula A without
u, we simply add the following axiom:

   ~[]u & <>u       (X)

Then we can derive from T,X a formula B
that contains u, and u will behave
correctly.

Or put it the other way, the following formula

   X->B

where B might contain u, and X
is defined as above, behaves as u would
have the value U assigned.

What are the curly braces above ("}"), and the
plonked less than sign ("<") ?

BTW:
   (A->B)+ = A- v (A+ & B+) v (~A- & ~A+ & ~B-)
   (A->B)- = A+ & B-

Which can easily be read off from your 3-valued
table, thus if you had the constant u in your
system L3 you could represent A->B by the other
connectives. Namely by combining (A->B)+ and (A->B)-
as I suggested in my other post.

But you dont need the constant u in your system.
You can use an arbitrary propositional variable p,
then we have:

   u == ~p+ & ~p-

Or when we translate it back to your "modal" operators,
we then have:

   u == ~[]p & <>p

further notice that ~[]~A == <>A. Thus your whole
system could be reduced to &, v, ~ and [].
