Authors' intentions are crucial to both, it is just that Solum wants to stake out the position, in contrast to Alexander, that "conventional semantic meanings are not identical with or reducible to individual communicative intentions, nor are they
supervenient on such meanings." (p.
(15) Or, in more technical terms, a natural phenomenon is reductively explainable in terms of some low-level properties when it is logically
supervenient on those properties.
One of the other studies suggests that plasmid-encoded quinolone resistance determinant gene causing low-level fluoroquinolone resistance was located on KP plasmids encoding KPC genes.[13] Another study suggests that fluoroquinolones led to upregulation of the multidrug efflux pump MexEF-OprN and reduced levels of OprD porin,[17] with
supervenient resistance to both fluoroquinolone and carbapenems.[18] The significance of these findings is not clear, but they have indicated that restricting the inappropriate use of antibacterial agents will decrease the chance of spreading CRKP.

What differentiates the resulting form of structural realism from standard scientific realism is that the latter regards the mind-independent modal relations between phenomena as
supervenient on the properties of unobservable objects and the external relations between them, rather than this structure being ontologically basic.

In this way, "chemical properties are '
supervenient'--or 'supervene'--on physical properties, and mental states are '
supervenient' on brain states." (32) Higher-level entities that supervene on more fundamental entities are formed by their constitutive relationships, which organize the fundamental entities into more complex entities, whose characteristics and behaviors cannot be predicted by knowledge of the fundamental entities.
When group agency emerges, however, it shares similar characteristics with other
supervenient relationships.
Invoking property duality or triality has an added benefit to help explain to those skeptics of emergence how a
supervenient system can have properties not possessed by its components.
