    Challenges→Two tropes that are both parts of the same spacetime point do not interpenetrate

    If tropes ground spacetime regions rather than inhabit them as parts, the supporting argument's P1 presupposes a relational structure that trope bundle theory explicitly rejects, undermining the claim's foundational premise.

    Key Terms

    Ground/grounding(Used to describe what makes truths true)
    What makes something true or real; the foundation or basis that explains why something exists or is the case.
    P1(Premise establishing that self-subsistent entities are not immanent in humans.)
    Nothing that is itself by itself is in humans.
    Presupposes(as describing what Plantinga's argument takes for granted)
    Assumes something to be true without proving it—like how an argument might presuppose that logic works, without first arguing that logic is valid.
    Trope bundle theory(Ontology / metaphysics of properties and objects)
    The view that for an object to exist, its tropes must be mutually compresent — i.e., an object is a bundle of compresent tropes
    foundational premise

    Explore a random proposition
    Start fresh with something unrelated.
    (logic/epistemology)
    A basic assumption or starting point that everything else in an argument depends on.
    inhabit(metaphysics)
    To occupy or exist within something as a component or part.
    relational structure(metaphysics)
    A system of connections and relationships between different things, rather than things existing completely independently.
    spacetime regions(metaphysics/physics)
    Specific areas or volumes of space and time—like a particular location at a particular moment.
    tropes(Cited as examples of non-material entities whose interpenetration supersubstantivalism does not rule out)
    Particular property instances that can be exactly located at regions without being identical to those regions
