 If Curley is correct, then because finite modes are only partially determined by infinite modes, the modal transfer principle will not apply to finite modes. (One assumption here is that condition (i) requires following from entirely.) This blocks necessitarianism, since no finite mode would follow entirely from something that exists necessarily. Thus, Curley’s interpretation concludes, particular finite modes do not exist necessarily, despite (partly) following from God’s nature. Hence full-blown necessitarianism with respect to finite modes is false and AP1, AP2, and AP3 represent genuine alternative possibilities for Spinoza. This finds support in passages like IIax1:
