17486 | Supervenience is simply modally robust property co-variance [Hendry] |
9295 | Not only substances have attributes; events, actions, states and qualities can have them [Teichmann] |
17481 | Nuclear charge (plus laws) explains electron structure and spectrum, but not vice versa [Hendry] |
9293 | Body-spirit interaction ought to result in losses and increases of energy in the material world [Teichmann] |
17478 | Maybe two kinds are the same if there is no change of entropy on isothermal mixing [Hendry] |

17484 | Maybe the nature of water is macroscopic, and not in the microstructure [Hendry] |
17485 | Maybe water is the smallest part of it that still counts as water (which is H2O molecules) [Hendry] |
17483 | Water continuously changes, with new groupings of molecules [Hendry] |
17482 | Compounds can differ with the same collection of atoms, so structure matters too [Hendry] |
17476 | Elements survive chemical change, and are tracked to explain direction and properties [Hendry] |
17477 | Defining elements by atomic number allowed atoms of an element to have different masses [Hendry] |
