    It is not the case that The supporting argument's counterexample tacitly restricts the B-base to local intrinsic properties, but global supervenience is defined over total world-histories including all relational and structural properties.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.If global supervenience requires including relational properties, the burden shifts to clarifying which relations actually matter.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Counterexamples needn't cover every property type to be valid; they only need to show distinct worlds with identical local bases.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Dismissing counterexamples as 'tacit' restrictions avoids engaging whether the original argument's logic is actually sound.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Counterexamples typically isolate minimal cases; restricting to local properties makes them tractable for philosophical analysis.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Global supervenience's definitional scope includes relational properties that local counterexamples may deliberately exclude.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.The critique reveals a genuine mismatch between the scope of the proposed base and the scope of the supervenience claim being tested.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
