    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→Chains of exact location are always short (length one)

    Therefore the combination of Functionality and Conditional Reflexivity fails to preclude chains longer than one when location is partly grounded in mereological relations between regions.

    Key Terms

    Conditional Reflexivity(Formal constraint on the exact location relation)
    The principle that if x is exactly located at y, then y is exactly located at y; any region that hosts an exact locatee is itself exactly located at itself
    Functionality(Formal constraint on the exact location relation)
    The principle that if y is exactly located at z and y is exactly located at z*, then z equals z*; exact location is functional (many-to-one at most)
    Grounded/Grounding(as used in metaphysics)
    When one thing is explained by or depends on another thing as its foundation or basis.
    Preclude(as used in logic and argumentation)
    To prevent something from happening or to rule something out.
    Regions(as used in mathematics and geometry)

    Relations instantiated by concrete objects and the wholes they form; a derivative notion can be defined for properties via reference to mereological relations between their instances
