The possible worlds component of the model would represent beliefs about the supervenience base, while the norms would be needed to represent a person's beliefs involving the supervenient moral properties. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Kass is surely right to insist that we recognize that our morally significant mental capacities are embodied, concrete, supervenient on a biological base. ❋ Unknown (2007)
“Space: An abstract system of non-supervenient relations.” ❋ Ladyman, James (2009)
The mere fact that every particular has a physical property does not rule out the possibility that some particulars also have non-supervenient mental properties, i.e. mental properties that are only contingently related to the physical. ❋ Stoljar, Daniel (2009)
The interpretation of entangled states in quantum mechanics in terms of strongly non-supervenient relations goes back to Cleland (1984). ❋ Ladyman, James (2009)
Similarly, advocates of OSR such as Esfeld, French and Ladyman emphasise that the non-supervenient relations implied by quantum entanglement undermine the ontological priority conferred on individuals in most traditional metaphysics. ❋ Ladyman, James (2009)
But all of them involve three elements: a set of supervenient entities ❋ Glüer, Kathrin (2009)
That I strongly suspect that non-darwinian (and non-neodarwinian) mechanisms play a supervenient role in evolution doesn't make me a religious fundamentalist, a "Wedgie," a Creationist or even a heretic. ❋ Unknown (2006)
In Newtonian spacetime, the kinematical behavior of a system of point particles under the action of finite forces is supervenient upon ascriptions of particular values of position and momentum to the particles along their trajectories. ❋ Healey, Richard (2008)
State Separability: The state assigned to a compound physical system at any time is supervenient on the states then assigned to its component subsystems. ❋ Healey, Richard (2008)
Strong Nonseparability: Some physical process occupying a region R of spacetime is not supervenient upon an assignment of qualitative intrinsic physical properties at points of ❋ Healey, Richard (2008)
The qualitative intrinsic physical properties of a compound system are supervenient on those of its spatially separated component systems together with the spatial relations among these component systems. ❋ Healey, Richard (2008)
Nonetheless, we may well take this value, like all value, to be supervenient on something. ❋ Zimmerman, Michael J. (2007)
Even nonderivative value (value that something has in its own right; value that is, in some way, not attributable to the value of anything else) is usually understood to be supervenient on certain nonevaluative features of the thing that has value (and thus to be attributable, in a different way, to these features). ❋ Zimmerman, Michael J. (2007)
But, as before, one may spell it out in terms of supervenience relations: State separability obtains just in case each system possesses a separate state that determines its qualitative intrinsic properties and relations, and the state of any composite system is supervenient upon the separate states of its subsystems. ❋ Berkovitz, Joseph (2007)
In particular, the superposition state of the particle pair assigns a ˜correlational™ property that dictates that the outcomes of (ideal) z-spin measurements on both the L - and the R-particle will be anti-correlated, and this correlational property is not supervenient upon properties assigned by any separable states of the particles (for more details, see Healey 1992, 1994). ❋ Berkovitz, Joseph (2007)
However, even if ˜strong overdetermination™ by two ontologically independent causes is so ruled out, this does not necessarily preclude ˜weak overdetermination™ by both a physical cause and a metaphysically supervenient non-physical cause. ❋ Papineau, David (2007)
Perhaps he means to say that the quality of having huge breasts is supervenient on, but not constitutive of, soul mateness. ❋ Unknown (2005)
This brings out the subtle but important point that the question whether some value is derivative is distinct from the question whether it is supervenient. ❋ Zimmerman, Michael J. (2007)
