 Modulo deflationary concerns, there does not appear to be any in-principle barrier to allowing that determination can hold between entities of other  categories.[10]  Determination has been extended to actions or episodes (see, e.g., Mulligan 1992 and Cruse 1995: chap. 6), events (Yablo 1992), fields (von Wachter 2000), tropes (Funkhouser 2006), states (Fine 2011), and substances (Massin 2013). That said, one might maintain that some such entities can be related by determination since falling under or in part constituted by determinable and determinate properties. Whatever one’s position on what ontological categories the relata of determination can fall under, there are (as per metaphysical usual) different available understandings of the categories at  issue.[11]
