    Key Terms

    Direct mutual dependence(as used in metaphysics)
    When two things directly affect and rely on each other—like how a dancer and their dance partner move together and depend on each other's movements.
    Divine causality(as used in philosophy of religion and metaphysics)
    The idea that God is the ultimate cause or force behind everything that happens in the universe.
    Mind-body correspondence(as used in metaphysics)
    The fact that your thoughts and feelings seem to perfectly match up with what's happening in your physical brain—when you decide to move your arm, it moves; when light hits your eye, you see it.
    grounded in(whether distinctness or identity is explained by intrinsic features)
    To be explained by or to have its reason or basis in something else—like how a tree being wet is grounded in (explained by) recent rain.
