Logical incompatibility(Ehrenfels 1890; Smith 1988, 103): The case in which elements cannot be combined, exemplified by a round square.
baseline(Central to the counterfactual analysis of harm; must have an independent rationale rather than being set by the restriction on liberty itself): The counterfactual reference point against which a person's condition is compared to determine whether harm has occurred.
counterfactual(Modal logic and epistemology): A conditional statement concerning what would be the case if some antecedent condition were true, evaluated across possible worlds; contraposition does not hold in general for counterfactuals.
grounded in(whether distinctness or identity is explained by intrinsic features): To be explained by or to have its reason or basis in something else—like how a tree being wet is grounded in (explained by) recent rain.
