We address a recent proposal concerning ‘surplus structure’ due to Nguyen et al. (Br J Phi Sci, 2018). We argue that the sense of ‘surplus structure’ captured by their formal criterion is importantly different from—and in a sense, opposite to—another sense of ‘surplus structure’ used by philosophers. We argue that minimizing structure in one sense is generally incompatible with minimizing structure in the other sense. We then show how these distinctions bear on Nguyen et al.’s arguments about Yang-Mills theory and on the hole argument.

关于表象冗余、剩余结构和空洞论证

我们解决了 Nguyen 等人最近提出的关于“剩余结构”的提议。(Br J Phi Sci,2018 年)。我们认为,他们的形式标准所捕捉到的“剩余结构”的意义与哲学家使用的另一种“剩余结构”的意义截然不同——并且在某种意义上是相反的。我们认为,在一种意义上最小化结构通常与在另一种意义上最小化结构不相容。然后,我们将展示这些区别如何影响 Nguyen 等人关于 Yang-Mills 理论的论点和洞论点。
