  • Property-based theories such as dispositionalism and natural kind essentialism struggle to explain sophisticated regularities or laws, including conservation laws, retention laws, functional laws, idealized laws, and lawlike boundary conditions such as the Past Hypothesis.

    “it has been argued: that dispositionalists and natural kind essentialists struggle to explain conservation laws; 23 that dispositionalists struggle to explain retention laws (namely, the regularity that things are disposed to retain their dispositions over time in the absence of interferences); 24 and that all property-based accounts struggle to explain functional laws, 25 idealized laws, 26 and”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
