Maximal properties are typically extrinsic, for their instantiation by <I>x</I> depends on what larger things <I>x</I> is part of. This makes trouble for a recent argument against microphysical supervenience by Trenton Merricks. The argument assumes that consciousness is an intrinsic property, whereas consciousness is in fact maximal and extrinsic.",
