    Supports→The argument from supersubstantivalism supports No Interpenetration only for material objects, not for entities of any kind

    Therefore, the argument from supersubstantivalism has restricted scope by its own structural presuppositions, applying only where region-identity is defensible, i.e., for material objects.

    Key Terms

    Defensible (in philosophy)(as used in philosophical argumentation)
    Something that can be logically supported or justified with good reasoning; something you can argue for convincingly.
    Material objects(contrasted with non-physical or abstract entities)
    Physical things you can touch and see, like tables, rocks, or people—basically anything made of physical matter.
    Scope (of an argument)(as used in logic)
    The range of situations, objects, or cases to which an argument can be validly applied.
    Structural presuppositions(as used in logic and argumentation)
    Hidden assumptions or basic requirements built into the core framework of an argument that must be true for the argument to work.
    region-identity(A core principle of supersubstantivalism that conflicts with Armstrong's theory)

    supersubstantivalism(Used to argue for the restricted version of No Interpenetration)
    The view under which material objects are identified with or essentially tied to spatial regions, such that disjoint material objects cannot share exact locations
