    It is not the case that The regress is therefore only nominally arrested: ziran functions as a hidden explainer, displacing rather than terminating the chain of grounding relations.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Ziran may be a primitive term that legitimately halts regress by identifying an irreducible explanatory base, not displacement.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Calling something a 'hidden explainer' assumes explanation requires deeper grounding—but ziran might reject that assumption entirely.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.All frameworks eventually invoke some brute fact or foundational principle; ziran's displacement charge applies equally to alternatives.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Ziran ('self-so') merely relocates the explanatory burden to nature itself without identifying what terminates the grounding chain.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If ziran is invoked to stop questioning, it functions as a conceptual placeholder rather than a genuine explanatory principle.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The claim avoids the hard problem: explaining why ziran itself requires no further grounding or explanation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
