    Part of a larger discussion

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

    Weak global supervenience permits worlds indiscernible in B-properties yet discernible in A-properties at the global level.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Weak supervenience allows A-properties to depend on B-properties without requiring identity, permitting global-level divergence.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Physical indiscernibility (B-properties) needn't entail metaphysical indiscernibility if non-physical A-properties exist independently.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Global properties can exhibit emergent features absent from local B-properties, making worlds B-identical yet A-distinct.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.If B-properties are globally identical across worlds, weak supervenience requires A-properties to co-vary with B-properties globally.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Claiming global A-discernibility despite B-indiscernibility either violates weak supervenience or posits causally inert properties.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Weak supervenience's defining constraint is precisely that identical base properties entail identical supervening properties at all levels.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
