matic philosophers that “a difference that makes no difference is no difference”, or,
as put more specifically by Heil, “a property that made no difference to the causal
powers of its possessors would, it seems, be a property the presence of which made
no difference at all” (2003: p. 77). Finally, the approach is model based, insofar as
the role of models (of general properties, measurands, environments, and measurement process) is given primacy: this is the topic to which the following chapter is
devoted.
