For example, the general mechanistic account could adopt an expanded ontology that includes variable components as variable components as ontologically separate from entities and activities might, in fact, Fig. 1 A simple mechanism with variable entities and activities indexed suggest that the explicit indexing of variable mechanistic components in sciences beyond computing could be ./cache/work_24p5uqlbsbe7dptlt3dgypljfu.pdf ./txt/work_24p5uqlbsbe7dptlt3dgypljfu.txt
