چکیده

Abstract Grounding necessitarianism (GN) is the view that full grounds necessitate what they ground. Although GN has been rather popular among philosophers, it faces important counterexamples: For instance, A = [Socrates died] fully C [Xanthippe became a widow]. However, fails to C: could have obtained together with B and Xanthippe were never married], without obtaining. In many cases, debate essentially reduces whether indeed C–as contingentist claims–or if instead grounded in + , namely plus some supplementary fact S (e.g. was married Socrates])–as necessitarian claims. Both sides typically agree necessitates C, while does not; disagree on or C. This paper offers novel defence of claim that, these typical unlike ground C–thereby bringing further support GN. First foremost, because contain just relevant do so, two distinct senses– explanatory generative relevance. Second, going for A, than as undermines not grounding but modally weaker views which even contingentists may want preserve.

Probabilistic relational models are an efficient way to learn and represent the dynamics in realistic environments consisting of many objects. Autonomous intelligent agents that ground this representation for all objects need to plan in exponentially large state spaces and large sets of stochastic actions. A key insight for computational efficiency is that successful planning typically involves...
