    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→Non-determinism is computationally less powerful with respect to space than it appears to be with respect to time

    The claim presupposes a symmetric baseline for comparing power across resource types, but time and space are incommensurable computational resources without a neutral tertium comparationis.

    Key Terms

    Computational resources(What feasibility predicates measure)
    The practical tools a computer or person has to solve a problem, like time, memory, and processing power.
    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.
    Symmetric(describes two agents in the same informational position)
    Perfectly matched or identical in all relevant ways; having the same structure or properties.
    baseline(Central to the counterfactual analysis of harm; must have an independent rationale rather than being set by the restriction on liberty itself)
    The counterfactual reference point against which a person's condition is compared to determine whether harm has occurred.

    incommensurable(The side and diagonal of a cube are incommensurable, posing a problem for minima theory)
    Two magnitudes whose ratio cannot be expressed as a ratio of whole numbers
    tertium comparationis(as used in logic and philosophy)
    Latin phrase meaning 'the third thing for comparison'—a neutral standard that lets you fairly measure two different things against each other.
