    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→Relational holism holds in the modal interpretation of quantum mechanics.

    If the properties grounding relational holism cannot be jointly determinate, the claim that the pair instantiates irreducible relational properties is undermined by internal inconsistency.

    Key Terms

    Internal inconsistency(The paradox shows that the concept of equipossibility contains a flaw)
    A contradiction or logical problem within a system itself—when a single theory or method produces conflicting answers to the same question.
    Relational holism(Teller (1989); consequence of violating particularism)
    The view that composite systems can have relational properties not reducible to the intrinsic properties of their parts
    determinate(Contrasted with determinables; taken to be independently posited in the causal/ontological economy)
    A maximally specific instance of a determinable property (e.g., scarlet as a determinate of red)
    grounding(Drawn from contemporary metaphysics; proposed as potentially applicable to understanding the foundations of legality.)
    A metaphysical relation in which some entities or facts are more foundational than others, providing a hierarchical structure of the world.

    Start fresh with something unrelated.
    instantiates(as used in metaphysics)
    To instantiate means to be a specific example or instance of something more general. For example, a red apple instantiates the property 'redness.'
    irreducible relational properties(in metaphysics)
    Properties that exist only in relationships between things and cannot be broken down into or explained by the individual properties of those things alone.
    jointly determinate(in metaphysics)
    When multiple things together have a clear, definite nature or state—they work together to make something specific and unambiguous.
    properties(Contrasted with substances as ontologically dependent entities.)
    Entities that depend for their existence on substances, being properties of individual objects.
