“…Rather, what we have is: (I) a system of natural inference rules that are plausible relative to a very fine-grained conception of ground, proposed by Kit Fine, but with as yet no adequate semantics, and acknowledged as incomplete with respect to any plausible understanding of ground (cf. (Fine, 2012a: 67)); (II) a natural truthmakersemantics, also proposed in Fine (2012a), which yields a logic adequate to a much more coarse-grained conception of ground; (III) a logical system proposed by Correia (2010), addressing again a coarse-grained conception of ground, proven sound and complete for a corresponding algebraic semantics. 35 An additional difficulty is that the languages of these logical systems are expressively too weak to state anything like the quantified claim that for every Γ, if Γ, P < Q, then Γ 0 < Q for some Γ 0 ⊆ Γ with P Γ 0 .…”

“…15 When we speak of standard assumptions in the (propositional) logic of ground, we mean assumptions that are explicitly endorsed in both Correia (2010) and Fine (2012a), which are so far the only reasonably developed systems for the propositional logic of ground. We give more precise versions of our informal arguments here by reference to these systems in the appendix.…”

“…22 A statement of a general connection will therefore be of the form 22 Cf. Fine's (2012) Crimson states the general metaphysical-explanatory connection that holds between an arbitrary thing's being crimson and its being red. We may put this in another way by speaking of facts: Crimson states the general connection that holds between facts of the form 'x is crimson' and facts of the form 'x is red'.…”

“…Although in saying this we do describe reality, we do not describe fundamental reality. 4 Fundamental reality bears a special explanatory relationship to nonfundamental or derivative reality: the way derivative reality is may be 2 For discussion of metaphysical explanation and of the related notion of ground, see Fine (2001Fine ( , 2012, Schaffer (2009), Rosen (2010), and Wilson (2014). I should note that the term 'metaphysical explanation' is misleading on two counts.…”
