    It is not the case that The world-type framework individuates an agent's power relative to histories, so Oscar's world-type in W already encodes his omnipotence, making (e) properly excluded rather than an overlooked lacuna.

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Encoding omnipotence in world-types assumes the relevant notion of power is already settled—but (e)'s status depends on how 'power' itself is defined.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.A framework can exclude options without justifying the exclusion; structural closure ≠ philosophical legitimacy of what's excluded.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.If (e) satisfies all criteria for genuine possibility except framework membership, calling it 'properly excluded' begs the question against it.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.World-types encode intrinsic agent properties across all accessible histories, so omnipotence at W is properly constitutive of Oscar's nature.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If (e) were merely overlooked, it would represent a genuine modal gap in Oscar's powers—but world-type individuation closes all such gaps by design.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Exclusion via framework structure avoids ad hoc stipulation better than post-hoc explanation of lacunae.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
