 Given that the priority monist accepts that “in virtue of” claims about facts run in concord with priority relations between objects, from the cosmos down (e.g., I am sitting in virtue of the cosmos being as it is), this would have the bad result that no property that an object can have while being subcosmic can be an intrinsic property. For if a given subcosmic object \(a\) has property \(F\), the priority monist will say that \(a\) is \(F\) in virtue of the fact that the cosmos is such and so, where the cosmos is not part of \(a\).
