16048	Physicalism says in any two physically indiscernible worlds the positive facts are the same [Chalmers, by Bennett,K]
	Full Idea: Chalmers says that physicalism is true in a world w just in case every positive fact that obtains in w also obtains in any world physically indiscernible from w.
	From: report of David J.Chalmers (The Conscious Mind [1996], 2.1) by Karen Bennett - Supervenience
	A reaction: [Bennett summarises Chalmers' argument on pp.39-40] Chalmers says negative facts depend on the world's limits, which aren't part of the physical facts of the world.
