    Challenges→Strong global supervenience entails weak global supervenience.

    Strong global supervenience uses cross-world necessity while weak global supervenience uses intra-world necessity, and Kim's own formulations reveal these are not straightforwardly nested.

    Key Terms

    Cross-world necessity(the type of necessity used in strong global supervenience)
    Something that must be true the same way in every possible scenario or world you can imagine.
    Intra-world necessity(the type of necessity used in weak global supervenience)
    Something that must be true within a single world or scenario, based on that world's own rules, but could be different in other possible worlds.
    Kim(the philosopher whose account is being described)
    Jaegwon Kim, an influential philosopher who developed detailed theories about how to understand and categorize events, properties, and objects in the world.
    Nested(describing whether one type of supervenience contains or is contained within the other)
    Arranged so that one thing fits inside another in a clear hierarchy, like Russian dolls.

    Weak global supervenience(Modal supervenience relations between property families A and B across possible worlds)
    If a B-preserving isomorphism exists between two possible worlds, there must also exist an A-preserving isomorphism between those worlds.
    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.
    strong global supervenience(Metaphysics of supervenience; distinguished from strong individual supervenience)
    A supervenience relation spelled out in terms of world-wide patterns of distribution of properties, as opposed to individual-level supervenience
    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.
