The mental event, it's you can pick it out with the physical vocabulary, but there's no way to get a law.
There's no physical predicate that captures the law or captured by a law.
I think some of it I took for granted that it's just the case that it's that L prime is gonna supervene on L, where which you can pick out, you're just not gonna be able to go backwards if you will.
But I maybe I just I don't maybe I don't know how to articulate why that's true or I just sort of was like, Oh, Tarski's right or whatever.
