This chapter discusses the ‘reformed’ nuclear theory of trope bundles. The main difference of the reformed theory with the theory considered above is that the nucleus of a bundle is constituted by a unique nuclear trope. The reformed nuclear theory does not require a relation of ontological dependence with especial, non-standard characteristics. Even more, the unique nuclear trope is a substratum. The reformed nuclear theory is, then, a conception in which particular objects are, at the same time, a bundle of tropes, and have a substratum. Finally, structural nuclear bundles are considered in connection to the requirements that have motivated forms of ‘ontic structural realism’ in philosophy of physics.

Resumen | This chapter discusses the ‘reformed’ nuclear theory of trope bundles. The main difference of the reformed theory with the theory considered above is that the nucleus of a bundle is constituted by a unique nuclear trope. The reformed nuclear theory does not require a relation of ontological dependence with especial, non-standard characteristics. Even more, the unique nuclear trope is a substratum. The reformed nuclear theory is, then, a conception in which particular objects are, at the same time, a bundle of tropes, and have a substratum. Finally, structural nuclear bundles are considered in connection to the requirements that have motivated forms of ‘ontic structural realism’ in philosophy of physics. |
