    Challenges→Subset realization physicalism does not by itself entail supervenience physicalism.

    If a causal theory of properties is false, then one property might subset realize another while being quite different from it in nature.

    Does subset realization physicalism entail supervenience physicalism? Well, there is a problem here too having to do with (what is sometimes called) a causal theory of properties, that is, a theory according to which the causal powers or features that a property bestows on the things that have it are exhaustive of the nature of that property. Suppose that a causal theory is false. Then, in principle, one property might subset realize another and yet be quite different from it in nature. And this
