 One potential problem with the HPC view account is that homeostatic mechanisms are not clearly delineated in the account. In other words, the role of mechanisms in maintaining the stability of property cluster is not addressed in Boyd’s original account. Craver (2009) is skeptical about our attempts to give a fully realist account of the homeostatic property clusters because conventional elements are involved in deciding when two mechanisms are of the same kind and also in identifying when one mechanism ends and the other begins. Tobin (2017) argues that there is an overlapping problem for mechanisms which is similar the overlapping problem often discussed in the natural kinds literature.
