7. Existence / C. Structure of Existence / 5. Supervenience / a. Nature of supervenience

19281	Interesting supervenience must characterise the base quite differently from what supervenes on it [Hale]
	Full Idea: Any intereresting supervenience thesis requires that the class of facts on which the allegedly supervening facts supervene be characterizable independently, without use or presupposition of the notions involved in stating the supervening facts.
	From: Bob Hale (Necessary Beings [2013], 03.4.1)
	A reaction: There might be intermediate cases here, since having descriptions which are utterly unconnected (at any level) might be rather challenging.
