Full Idea
Weak supervenience says there is no possible world that contains individuals that are B-indiscernible but A-discernible. Strong supervenience entails the same even if they are in different possible worlds.
Gist of Idea
Weak supervenience is in one world, strong supervenience in all possible worlds
