Primes¶
- Causality
This sourceDispositional-powers account grounding causation in the intrinsic causal powers of entities, realized in their capacity to produce characteristic effects; holds that causes do not necessitate effects.
- Latent Realizable Capacity
- The structural commitment is that the property is real and predicable even when no manifestation is occurring: salt has its solubility while sitting dry in the jar; a fuse has its breaking-current while no current flows; a shareholder has voting power between meetings; a function exists in source code whether or not it has been called.
