    Challenges→Strong individual supervenience entails intermediate and weak global supervenience.

    A relation governing individuals across worlds does not logically constrain global world-to-world property distribution patterns.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Trans-world relations (like identity) concern individual continuity, not which properties exist at which worlds globally.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Global patterns emerge from independent world-specifications; facts about individual relations across worlds are logically prior.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.A relation constrains only what it directly governs—individuals' cross-world connections don't determine other worlds' internal structures.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.If an individual must exist in world W1 via trans-world relations, this constrains W1's property distribution to include that individual.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Relations governing individuals logically entail existential and qualitative constraints on any world containing those individuals.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Global patterns are aggregates of individual facts; constraining individuals across worlds necessarily constrains overall distributions.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
