    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.If propositions have structured representational roles, their metaphysical bearers must exhibit corresponding structural properties.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Event types lack the requisite complexity to ground fine-grained propositional distinctions that structured roles demand.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Positing unstructured entities that possess structured representational functions creates unexplained explanatory gaps.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Representational structure can emerge from functional roles rather than intrinsic composition of the vehicle itself.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Event tokens can ground propositions while event types remain causally efficacious without being structurally complex.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Structured content doesn't require structured bearers, just as structured information needn't require structured storage media.
      ?
