Priority monism and the emergence of spacetime.

There has been a recent surge of interest in the idea that spacetime is not fundamental. Much of this interest has focused on the implications for physics. There has been less work investigating the implications of spacetime emergence for existing theories in metaphysics. This paper aims to fill thi...

      ab: There has been a recent surge of interest in the idea that spacetime is not fundamental. Much of this interest has focused on the implications for physics. There has been less work investigating the implications of spacetime emergence for existing theories in metaphysics. This paper aims to fill this gap by considering the impact of spacetime emergence on priority monism. We argue that one prominent version of priority monism is incompatible with spacetime emergence. We go on to present a solution to this problem, which involves rethinking the nature of concreteness. This leads to a new version of priority monism that is compatible with emergent spacetime.
