    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→Events A and B that occur in almost completely overlapping spatial regions will be correlated, and a common cause may not screen them off

    A principle cannot be violated by cases that fall outside the scope of its well-formed application conditions, so near-total overlap dissolves rather than refutes the screening-off requirement.

    Principle(T'oegye's metaphysics)
    Equated with the Supreme Ultimate; the source of the possibility for all existence, representing the potential of a thing that precedes its actual realisation.
    dissolves(as used in analytical philosophy)
    In philosophy, when a problem or objection disappears or becomes irrelevant because we realize it was based on a misunderstanding or false assumption.
    refutes(as used in logic and debate)
    To prove something is false or wrong by providing a counterargument or evidence against it.
    scope(formal semantics / generalized quantifier theory)
    The second argument of a type ⟨1,1⟩ determiner denotation
    screening-off requirement(as used in epistemology and causation theory)

    Start fresh with something unrelated.
    A logical condition where one thing prevents or blocks another thing from having a direct effect—like how a wall screens off noise, or how knowing the immediate cause of something screens off the need to look at distant causes.
    well-formed application conditions(as used in formal logic)
    The specific circumstances and requirements that have to be true for a rule or principle to actually be usable or meaningful.
