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

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.
