In fact, what Dijkstra calls the weakest liberal precondition, denoted wlp(S,Q), is the same as the box operator in dynamic logic: wlp(S,Q) = [S]Q, while his weakest precondition, denoted wp(S,Q), is the total correctness variant of this, meaning that this expression also entails the termination of statement S (cf. Cousot 1990).
