For instance, in Section 4, the text sometimes conflates the two when discussing aesthetic qualities. The distinction needs to be more rigorously applied. - **"Sortal-specific [[engineering laws]]"** : Lowe's concept is introduced but never clearly explained. What distinguishes these from general [[physical laws]]? The paper assumes readers understand this technical distinction without adequate clarification.
