I just put here an add-on on the previous question, in order to specify a point.
" I want to say that X adds falsity to B 5 when B&X is false for a reason that does not trade on B being false, as is shown by its being instantiable even when B is true. "
This is a point that I can't make sense of: why should we intuitively regard X as adding ...

It would make A-B ...

B→¬X being true for a reason that can obtain even when B is true
One might interpret this as follows. Say that X adds falsity to B, when there exists a set of true premises from which we can derive B→¬X, where the premises are not inconsistent with B.
Edit: This set of premises ought to be further constrained, e.g. to be chosen as a subset of a fixed, ...
