 To Russell’s objection that the existent golden mountain infringes the law of contradiction (since it is both existent and nonexistent), advocates of MOT\(^{ne}\) may reply as follows: Existence is an extranuclear property, but only nuclear properties can be constitutive properties of an object. Therefore, according to MOT\(^{ne}\), there simply is no such object as \(\iota x\forall F(Fx \equiv F = G \vee F = M \vee F = \rE!)\) (i.e., the existent golden mountain). (This route is taken by Dale Jacquette and Richard Routley. See Jacquette 1996, 81 and Routley 1980, 496.)
