    Supports→Strong global supervenience entails intermediate global supervenience.

    If every B-preserving isomorphism between two worlds must be A-preserving, then if any B-preserving isomorphisms exist between two worlds, at least one of them must be A-preserving.

    Key Terms

    A-preserving(as used in logic and metaphysics)
    A property of a connection between worlds where another set of properties (the 'A-properties') also stay the same throughout the mapping.
    B-preserving(used to describe what stays constant when comparing two things)
    A relationship or transformation that keeps all the important features labeled 'B' exactly the same; nothing about B changes.

    necessary and sufficient conditions(in philosophical analysis)
    A 'necessary' condition is something that must be true for something else to happen; a 'sufficient' condition is something that guarantees it will happen. This phrase describes what must be true (and what's enough) for a definition to apply.

    It is easy to see that strong global supervenience entails intermediate global supervenience, which in turn entails weak global supervenience. If every B-preserving isomorphism between two worlds must itself be A-preserving, then if there are any B-preserving isomorphisms between two worlds at all, at least one of them must be A-preserving. So, strong global supervenience entails intermediate. And if at least one of any existing B-preserving isomorphisms between two worlds must itself be A-prese
