    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→The holistic contextualist view makes questions about values of f(Q) in a P-measurement situation illegitimate.

    If f(Q)'s value depends entirely on the P-measurement context, then functional composition rules like FUNC become conventionally stipulated rather than physically grounded.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Context-dependence of physical quantities indicates measurement frames, not intrinsic properties, determine values.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If FUNC rules vary with measurement setup, they describe observer conventions rather than fundamental physical laws.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Conventionalism explains why identical physical systems yield different f(Q) outputs under different P-contexts.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Context-dependence doesn't entail conventionality; physical laws can be fundamentally relational without being stipulated.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.FUNC rules could be physically grounded in relational properties that legitimately vary with measurement context.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Many physical quantities (momentum, energy) depend on reference frames yet remain physically fundamental, not conventional.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
