    It is not the case that A truth-maker theory grounded purely in mental existence cannot account for why logical predications constrain inference across minds.

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

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Logical constraints could be grounded in shared cognitive structures or evolutionary-instilled inference patterns, not mind-independent entities.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Cross-mind logical agreement doesn't require non-mental truth-makers; intersubjective consensus through communication explains constraint-sharing.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Mental truth-makers can include abstract mental contents (propositions, concepts) that are shareable and constraint-bearing across different minds.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.If truth-makers are purely mental, logical laws would vary with individual minds, making cross-mind inference coordination impossible.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Shared logical constraints across minds require a mind-independent ground, not reducible to private mental states or experiences.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Mental-only truth-makers cannot explain why 'A and not-A' is necessarily false for all rational agents simultaneously.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
