Fodor (1997) distinguishes disjunctive from multiply realized properties.
Properties that undergo fusion do not realize the i+1 property instance, as supervenient, realized properties would be co-present with subvenient properties.
However, our experience in applying these procedures suggests that more research may be needed to identify new methods that conform to the realized properties of exposure response data.
The subset view, which holds that a property P1 (e.g., mean kinetic energy of the gas) realizes property P2 (e.g., temperature of the gas) when the causal powers distinctive of P2 (temperature) are a subset of the causal powers distinctive of P2 (mean kinetic energy), is an example of the flat view.
The second sense, "dimensioned" realization, involves realized and realizing properties inhering in distinct individuals standing in a compositional relationship.
The first sense, "flat" realization, involves both realized and realizing properties inhering in a single object.
When they realized that property taxes for the homes they were looking at were generally around $15,000 a year, they lowered their target price, dropping into the $600,000s.
If the second option is taken, the second-order realization physicalist looks committed to an infinite regress, since now we have further properties realized by physical properties and, correlatively, further causal or theoretical roles.
Such multiply realized determinate properties are indeed exactly similar across distinct realizations, and so answer the dilemma posed by Shapiro and others (discussed extensively in section 2 above).
