7. Existence / C. Structure of Existence / 5. Supervenience / c. Significance of supervenience

17486	Supervenience is simply modally robust property co-variance [Hendry]
	Full Idea: Supervenience is not an ontological relationship, being just modally robust property co-variance.
	From: Robin F. Hendry (Chemistry [2008], 'Ontol')
	A reaction: I take supervenience to be nothing more than an interesting phenomenon that requires explanation. I suppose Humean Supervenience is a priori metaphysics, since you could hardly explain it.
