A necessary emanation relation, as in Plotinus, undermines the asymmetric dependence the claim requires, since the One itself is constituted partly through its relation to what proceeds from it.

Asymmetric dependence(Illustrated by the scarlet/red example: scarlet entails red, but red does not entail scarlet): A relation where instantiating a determinate property entails instantiating its determinable, but not vice versa
Constituted(as describing how intersubjectivity is formed): In philosophy, this means 'made up of' or 'formed through'—describing how something comes into existence or takes shape through a process.
Plotinus: Plotinus was an ancient Greek philosopher who lived in Rome during the 3rd century AD and founded a spiritual philosophy called Neoplatonism. He taught that reality consists of different levels, with a perfect, infinite source at the top (called "the One") from which everything else flows downward, and that the goal of life is to reconnect with this divine source through contemplation and inner purification. His ideas deeply influenced later Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, making him one of the most important philosophers in Western and religious thought.
