   • 2019, Peter Furlong, The Challenges of Divine Determinism: A Philosophical Analysis, page 94:

     However we understand the defect, most divine determinists will likely wish to say that the relation of inconformity between act and law obtains (when it does obtain) merely in virtue of the intrinsic natures of the relata. In other words, the relation of inconformity follows merely upon the nonrelational characteristics of the relata
