For clarity, some examples in English follow.
*"Realistic working of the world" type: You should fear walking down dark alleys alone. (Because, realistically, you are putting yourself in danger) *"Moral appeal to an ideal world" type: You should not (have to) fer walking down dark alleys alone. (In an ideal world, there would be no crime and, in a perfect moral word, one should not have to fear for their bodily wellbeing.) *"Expectation in a hypothetical world that works as one believes" type: If the Standard Model is true, then there should be the Higgs boson with certain properties only. (To our best understanding, the result of an experiment is expected to be something; if the world worked according to our current "beliefs"/understanding, then our expectations would be right and the result would have to be of a certain form.)
All of these are "hypothetical" in some way. They are not expectation about what will really happen (unlike kanpe) but are expectations about would would/should happen if certain axioms are true. Also, the results are guaranteed (we expect) in a world that is governed by these axioms, there is no uncertainty (again, unlike kanpe, which has a scale of certainty/expectation).

Then kanpe lo nu ganai brode gi brode with kanpe further expanded into counting possible worlds.

Technically, in that case, kanpe is probably more general because it can range from utter hoping against all odds to subjective guarantee. But that does not carry the sense that the result is proper or as it should be. This word connotes a sense of satisfaction with the result/world if it were to happen/be true. Also, this word is not restricted to events but covers all abstractions and includes a predicate for the necessary conditions.

I don't think that kanpe2 must be restricted to events. It's just su'u there.
the word "moral" confuses me in the def of cadga.
Is it then
ja'i lo marde be x3 va'o x2 x1 bi'ai fasnu ?
