Collapse (philosophical)(describes what happens if absolute PSR is applied to modal space): To erase or eliminate a distinction between two things that were previously thought to be different.
Contingency (metaphysical)(contrasted with necessity in the statement): Something that is true in the actual world but could have been false—it didn't have to be this way; things could have turned out differently.
Kripkean(as used in metaphysics and philosophy of language): Relating to the ideas of philosopher Saul Kripke, who argued that the identity of things (like what makes gold gold) depends on their deep physical properties, not just how they appear to us.
Modal space(as describing the landscape of logical possibilities): A way of thinking about different possible scenarios or configurations—what could be true in different situations, not just what is actually true.
