It is not the case that Weak global supervenience permits worlds indiscernible in B-properties yet discernible in A-properties at the global level.
?
Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.
Reasons For
1 perspective
Reason for
?
1.
If B-properties are globally identical across worlds, weak supervenience requires A-properties to co-vary with B-properties globally.
?
How convincing is this?
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.
?
How convincing is this?
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.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
Reasons Against
1 perspective
Reason against
?
1.
Weak supervenience allows A-properties to depend on B-properties without requiring identity, permitting global-level divergence.
?
How convincing is this?
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.
?
How convincing is this?
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.
?
How convincing is this?
Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
