Kit Fine is the Steve Reich of analytic philosophy (no, I will not be elaborating)
This suggests that the semantic connection on the sequence D1, D2 . . . Dp, ft1t2 . . . tn, E1, E2, . . . , Eq should be determined on the basis of the semantic connection on D1, D2 . . . Dp, f, t1, t2, . . . tn, E1, E2, . . . , Eq (with ft1t2 . . . tn giving way, as before, to f, t1, t2, . . . , tn); and d1, d2, . . . dp, b, e1, e2, . . . , eq will belong to the semantic connection on D1, D2 . . . Dp, ft1t2 . . . tn, E1, E2, . . . Eq, i.e. ft1t2 . . . tn will be capable of taking the value b when D1, D2 . . . Dp, E1, E2, . . . , Eq take the values d1, d2, . . . dp, e1, e2, . . . , eq, just in case, for some individuals a1, a2, . . . , an for which b = f(a1, a2, . . . an), t1, t2, . . . tn are capable of taking the values a1, a2, . . . an when D1, D2 . . . Dp, E1, E2, . . . , Eq take the values d1, d2, . . . dp, e1, e2, . . . , eq, i.e. just in case, for some individuals a1, a2, . . . an for which b = f(a1, a2, . . . an), the tple d1, d2, . . . dp, f, a1, a2, . . . , an, e1, e2, . . . , eq belongs to the semantic connection on D1, D2 . . . Dp, f, t1, t2, . . . tn, E1, E2, . . . , Eq.
