    Key Terms

    contingent state of affairs(refers to 's', which is the possible situation the beings might disagree about)
    A situation or condition that could be true or false—it's not necessary or guaranteed to be one way or the other.
    grounded in(whether distinctness or identity is explained by intrinsic features)
    To be explained by or to have its reason or basis in something else—like how a tree being wet is grounded in (explained by) recent rain.
    instantiation(Lowe's trope-involving pluralism)
    The formal relation between a mode and the universal attribute the mode instantiates; it is part of a mode's essence that it instantiates the specific attribute it does
    linguistically indexed(as used in philosophy of language)
    Expressed or described using specific language or labels—basically, how we refer to something with words.
