    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→One could have good scientific reasons for favouring either substantivalism or relationalism.

    Since the success of a quantization method is theory-relative rather than interpretation-neutral, P1's conditional cannot ground a general scientific reason favoring either ontology.

    Key Terms

    Ground (as a verb)(as used in epistemology)
    To serve as the foundation or justification for a belief—to be the reason why you should accept something as true.
    Interpretation-neutral(as used in philosophy of science)
    Something that works the same way regardless of how you explain or understand it—independent of any particular viewpoint or theory.
    Ontology(Carnap argues this enterprise is based on a mistake)
    The philosophical discipline that tries to answer hard questions about what there really is.
    P1(Premise establishing that self-subsistent entities are not immanent in humans.)
    Nothing that is itself by itself is in humans.
    conditional(no-truth-value account of conditionals)

    Next step

    Based on where you are in your exploration

    Explore a random proposition
    Start fresh with something unrelated.
    A statement of the form 'if A, B' that involves the supposition that A and tells us nothing about what happens if A is false
    quantization(whether a proposition can be cleanly sorted into specific, non-overlapping boxes)
    The ability to divide something into distinct, separate, countable units or categories.
    theory-relative(as used in philosophy of logic)
    Something that depends on which particular framework or set of rules you're using, rather than being true in all cases.
