    • 1.Disjunctive types may also have causal relations in the intersections of their disjunctions
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If disjunctive types share the same causal intersection as generic types, then the account cannot distinguish generic types from disjunctive constructions of determinate types
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Failure to distinguish generic types from disjunctive constructions of determinate types means the account does not block metaphysical reducibility of determinable types to disjunctions of determinate types

    A subset-of-causal-relations account of generic/determinable universals promisingly accommodates many features of determination, for reasons similar to those attaching to powers-based accounts, below. It also ensures the metaphysical irreducibility of a generic/determinable type to any specific/determinate type, by the principle of the indiscernibility of identicals (if \(G\) has only a proper subset of causal relations of \(S\), \(G\) cannot be identified with \(S\)); and if this proper subset
