ABSTRACT
Well, ways for things to be are just that – properties that a situation may or may not have. The way the world is when Tibbles is on the mat is the property of being a situation (be it a maximal one like the universe as a whole, or a more minimal one like the one that currently obtains in downtown Lille) which contains Tibbles and the mat and in which the first is related to the second by the relation resting upon.
