    A solution or explanation created just to fix one specific problem, rather than being part of a coherent overall theory.
    Metaphysically(describing how harm might actually affect reality at its deepest level)
    In terms of the ultimate nature of reality itself, rather than just how things appear to us.
    No branching clause(personal identity philosophy)
    A rule added to a theory that says there can't be two equally valid versions of 'you' existing at the same time (like preventing scenarios where you split into two people with equal claim to being you).
    Stipulating(as used in philosophical reasoning)
    Assuming or declaring something to be true for the sake of argument, even if it hasn't been proven.
