 The idea of a “basis” can be interpreted in several ways. An obvious candidate is to think of the basis as a set of entities. It is quite natural to formulate (CMB) in terms of a complete minimal set and we will continue to do so in what follows (and so does Bennett 2017: 110). Another notion to be clarified in (CMB) is “determines”. This should be understood as a placeholder, which is meant to encompass the various ways in which fundamentalia may give rise to higher-level phenomena. So, “determines” could be replaced, e.g., by “grounds”, “realizes”, “composes”, or  “builds”.[14]  Importantly, this type of determination is supposed to be more than mere necessitation or supervenience, although the idea is closely related to traditional discussions of a minimal supervenience base (see Schaffer 2003; compare also with Schaffer’s notion of “generation” in Schaffer 2016b:  54).[15]
