    Challenges→Defending causal contextuality entails abandoning FM for non-maximal observables of type f(Q)

    Therefore, causal contextuality and FM are compatible if FM tracks dispositional possession rather than categorical, occurrent value-assignment.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Dispositions are counterfactual-responsive properties that can exist without manifest actualization, avoiding deterministic value-assignment.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Contextuality applies to measurement outcomes, not to pre-measurement dispositional states, so FM can describe latent capacities non-contextually.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Quantum systems possess multiple incompatible dispositions simultaneously; FM tracks these potentials rather than claiming definite occurrent values.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Dispositions require specification conditions; without determining what triggers manifestation, the distinction from occurrent values collapses practically.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If FM tracks dispositional possession, it must still explain why measurements yield context-dependent outcomes, shifting rather than solving the contextuality problem.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Reifying unmanifest dispositions as ontological primitives introduces unmotivated metaphysical commitments beyond what empirical adequacy demands.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
