    Challenges→Strong individual supervenience entails intermediate and weak global supervenience.

    There exist non-normal modal frameworks where cross-world individual covariance does not generate the global covariance required by weak global supervenience.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Non-normal frames permit accessibility relations without reflexivity/transitivity, allowing worlds identical in individuals but differing globally.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Cross-world covariance of individuals (same properties across worlds) needn't guarantee global property covariance if frame topology permits independent variation.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Weak global supervenience requires all global duplicates share properties; non-normal frames can separate individual from global-level determination.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.If individuals supervene on their properties cross-world, and all individuals are identical, global properties must correlate identically by composition.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.The claim conflates accessibility relations (structural) with property covariance (metaphysical), obscuring whether the distinction is genuine or notational.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Non-normal frames alone don't generate counterexamples without specifying which global properties fail to covary—the claim lacks concrete modal semantics.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
