    Challenges→Strong global supervenience entails intermediate global supervenience.

    Intermediate global supervenience requires that if worlds are B-indiscernible, some B-preserving map between them is also A-preserving, but this is a weaker existential claim about maps, not a universal one.

    Key Terms

    A-preserving(as used in logic and metaphysics)
    A property of a connection between worlds where another set of properties (the 'A-properties') also stay the same throughout the mapping.
    B-indiscernible(a in w and c in w* are B-indiscernible because B contains only P and Q, and they do not differ on P or Q)
    Two individuals are B-indiscernible if and only if they share all properties in the base set B
    B-preserving map(as used in logic and metaphysics)
    A way of connecting two worlds where all the specific properties you're focusing on (the 'B-properties') stay the same in the connection.
    Existential claim(as used in logic)
    A statement asserting that at least one thing of a certain kind actually exists.

    Start fresh with something unrelated.
    (Modal supervenience relations between property families A and B across possible worlds)
    If any B-preserving isomorphisms exist between two possible worlds, at least one of them must be A-preserving.
    global supervenience(Modal supervenience relations in philosophy of mind and metaphysics)
    A globally supervenes on B if and only if no two possible worlds share the same global pattern of distribution of B-properties while differing in their global pattern of distribution of A-properties.
    supervenience(Philosophy of mind and reduction; contrasted with full reduction)
    A relation in which mental (or higher-level) states are dependent on physiological (or lower-level) states such that any two cases with identical lower-level bases are identical in their higher-level states; a necessary but not sufficient condition for reduction.
    universal claim(as used in logic and argumentation)
    A statement that says something is true in every single case with no exceptions, like 'all birds can fly.'
