    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→Definition (D3) does not unduly limit the power of an omnipotent agent.

    Flint and Freddoso's analysis shows D3 covertly smuggles in a Humean regularity assumption: that all causally producible states are type-repeatable across possible agents.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.D3 requires that any agent capable of producing state S could produce it in relevantly similar circumstances, suggesting type-repeatability.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Without assuming type-repeatable states across agents, causal laws become agent-relative, undermining D3's objectivity and universality.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Flint and Freddoso's textual analysis identifies passages where D3 theorists implicitly quantify over possible agents with identical causal powers.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Type-repeatability across agents follows from the identity conditions of causally producible states, not a hidden Humean assumption.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.D3 can accommodate agent-specific causal powers while maintaining universality through comparative modal facts about what each agent can produce.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Flint and Freddoso conflate logical entailment of repeatability with covert smuggling-in; D3 theorists explicitly endorse this consequence.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
