    It is not the case that A perfect nature defined by the negation of a necessary condition of the dependent nature cannot coherently be grounded in that dependent nature.

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Negation of a property doesn't require positive causal grounding in the same way positive properties do.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.A dependent being can coherently possess privations (lacks) without those lacks requiring external grounding.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The claim conflates definitional independence with ontological impossibility of grounding.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.If X depends on Y for existence, X cannot be the ultimate source of Y's negation without circularity.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Grounding requires the ground to be ontologically prior to what it grounds; dependence reverses this priority.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.A nature defined by *negating* a dependent thing's condition claims independence from that very dependence relation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
