    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Preconditions need not share all properties of what they condition; water enables life without being alive.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The act of representing could be abstract/formal while space is merely its concrete instantiation medium.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Necessity for expression differs from necessity for existence; spatial language describes non-spatial thought.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Preconditions are constitutive of their dependent phenomena, not merely external scaffolding for them.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If X is necessary for all instances of Y, then Y inherits the fundamental character of X.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.There is no coherent distinction between a representation's form and its content when form is universally required.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
