It is not the case that A relation governing individuals across worlds does not logically constrain global world-to-world property distribution patterns.

Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.
Reasons For
1 perspective
Reason for
?
1.
If an individual must exist in world W1 via trans-world relations, this constrains W1's property distribution to include that individual.
?
How convincing is this?
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.
?
How convincing is this?
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.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
Reasons Against
1 perspective
Reason against
?
1.
Trans-world relations (like identity) concern individual continuity, not which properties exist at which worlds globally.
?
How convincing is this?
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.
?
How convincing is this?
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.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
