Supervenience and Boolean Reduction
In this paper, we develop a novel framework for analyzing and comparing different varieties of supervenience. We introduce a new two‐dimensional family of metaphysical determination relations, which we call “Boolean reducibility relations,” and show that many varieties of supervenience—including strong and weak individual supervenience, strong and weak modal operator supervenience, and strong global supervenience—are mathematically equivalent to …
