    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→It would be wrong to say that, in a possible world where it is false that p, there is no such fact as the fact that p.

    In a world where it is false that p, no relation-instantiation grounds the fact that p, so positing that fact's existence conflates abstract propositional content with concrete fact-existence.

    Key Terms

    Concrete
    Concrete refers to a building material made by mixing cement, water, sand, and gravel together. When these ingredients combine, they harden into a strong, durable substance that can be shaped into almost any form before it sets. Concrete is one of the most commonly used materials in construction because it's affordable, long-lasting, and can be used for everything from sidewalks and bridges to buildings and dams.
    abstract(in Zalta's definition, contrasted with primitivism)
    Not merely the negation of being concrete; rather, abstract objects are those that could not possibly be concrete (e.g., numbers, sets)
    fact-existence(as used in metaphysics)
    Whether something is actually true and real in the world—the difference between just being an idea and being something that truly happened or is the case.
    grounds(Used in the context of justifying beliefs about the future on the basis of past information)
    Information or evidence that confers rational entitlement to hold a belief or assumption

    propositional content(philosophy of language)
    The semantic content of a sentence and its truth conditions, distinguished from the information a sentence is used to communicate
    relation-instantiation(as used in metaphysics/ontology)
    When two or more things are connected or related to each other in a specific way—like how 'Alice is taller than Bob' is a connection between two people.
