17486 | Supervenience is simply modally robust property co-variance [Hendry] |
17481 | Nuclear charge (plus laws) explains electron structure and spectrum, but not vice versa [Hendry] |
4581 | Virtues and vices are like secondary qualities in perception, found in observers, not objects [Hume] |
4580 | All virtues benefit either the public, or the individual who possesses them [Hume] |

17483 | Water continuously changes, with new groupings of molecules [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] |
17480 | Generally it is nuclear charge (not nuclear mass) which determines behaviour [Hendry] |
