7. Existence / B. Change in Existence / 4. Events / c. Reduction of events

3747	Events are fast changes which are of interest to us [O'Connor]
	Full Idea: The standard cases of events are physical changes which happen sufficiently fast to be observed as changes, and which are of sufficient interest to us to be noticed or commented on.
	From: D.J. O'Connor (The Correspondence Theory of Truth [1975], Ch.7)

7. Existence / C. Structure of Existence / 1. Grounding / b. Relata of grounding

17314	The relata of grounding are propositions or facts, but for dependence it is objects and their features [Koslicki]
	Full Idea: The relata of the grounding relation are typically taken to be facts or propositions, while the relata of ontological dependence ...are objects and their characteristics, activities, constituents and so on.
	From: Kathrin Koslicki (Varieties of Ontological Dependence [2012], 7.5 n25)
	A reaction: Interesting. Good riddance to propositions here, but this seems a bit unfair to facts, since I take facts to be in the world. Audi's concept of 'worldly facts' is what we need here.
