    Key Terms

    background motivation(in philosophy of action)
    The deeper personal reasons or desires someone might have for doing something—like playing a sport for fame or money rather than for the love of the game itself.
    causal structure(Paired with inertial structure as jointly sufficient to determine metrical structure.)
    The structure of the world defined by causal relations, operationalized here via light signals.
    constitutive(an alternative type of relationship the grounding relation might be)
    Describes how something is made up of or formed from basic components that define its essential nature.
    instantiates(as used in metaphysics)
    To instantiate means to be a specific example or instance of something more general. For example, a red apple instantiates the property 'redness.'
