    It is not the case that Disjuncts of a disjunctive property need share no common qualitative nature, so instancing a disjunct fails to replicate the determinable-determinate content relation.

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

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.The determinable-determinate relation is fundamentally about property instantiation hierarchy, not shared intrinsic qualities between instances.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Disjunctive properties still function hierarchically: 'painful-or-itchy' is more general and each disjunct more specific, mirroring determinables.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Absence of qualitative commonality is orthogonal to whether a determinate instance still realizes its determinable relation properly.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Determinables like 'colored' have determinate instances (red, blue) that share the determinable property but differ qualitatively.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Disjunctive properties like 'painful-or-itchy' allow instances sharing the disjunct property while lacking any shared qualitative nature.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.This qualitative divergence in disjuncts means instantiating one disjunct doesn't replicate the determinable-determinate structure.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
