18928 | If maximalism is necessary, then that nothing exists has a truthmaker, which it can't have [Cameron] |
18931 | Determinate truths don't need extra truthmakers, just truthmakers that are themselves determinate [Cameron] |
18932 | The facts about the existence of truthmakers can't have a further explanation [Cameron] |
18923 | The present property 'having been F' says nothing about a thing's intrinsic nature [Cameron] |

18924 | Being polka-dotted is a 'spatial distribution' property [Cameron] |
14484 | If a=b is indeterminate, then a=/=b, and so there cannot be indeterminate identity [Evans, by Thomasson] |
18930 | Change is instantiation of a non-uniform distributional property, like 'being red-then-orange' [Cameron] |

20820 | Time is an interval of motion, or the measure of speed [Posidonius, by Stobaeus] |
