    It is not the case that If dance action-structures are repeatable, type-distinct, and norm-governed across performances, they exhibit the hallmarks of abstract objects regardless of intentional origin.

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

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Hallmark similarity is insufficient for ontological identity; cars share features with horses without being horses.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Repeatability in performances reflects contingent human choice and bodily capacity, not abstract independence from physical instantiation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Norm-governance derives from social convention and intentional communities, not abstract object status independent of human practices.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Mathematical objects (numbers, sets) are abstract yet exhibit repeatability, type-distinction, and norm-governance across instances.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If X exhibits all hallmarks of abstract objects, then X qualifies as abstract regardless of its causal origin or instantiation medium.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Dance movements satisfy repeatability (same choreography across performances), type-distinction (identifiable as specific moves), and norm-governance (correctness criteria).
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
