The Hole argument
Earman has notably contributed to debate about the "
With the GTR, the traditional debate between absolutism and
This is a technical mathematical argument but can be paraphrased as follows:
Define a function as the identity function over all elements over the
With use of this function we can construct two mathematical models, where the second is generated by applying to proper elements of the first, such that the two models are identical prior to the time , where is a time function created by a
These considerations show that, since substantivalism allows the construction of holes, that the universe must, on that view, be indeterministic. Which, Earman argues, is a case against substantivalism, as the case between
