 If we apply Spinoza’s modal transfer principle to this division, the objects described in [i] and [ii] exist necessarily. Similarly, the necessity of God’s nature in [iii] trickles down the following-from relation, and so even though the series as a whole follows only indirectly from God, its existence would nonetheless be necessary, as with mediate infinite modes. That is, the modal transfer principle ignores the more fine-grained distinction between direct and indirect following-from ([i] vs. [ii]-[iii]).
