Hendry argues that the structure of a molecule strongly emerges from its quantum Hendry defines strong emergence in terms of downward causation as follows: molecule's structure possess token causal powers that produce certain of the quantum Assuming that the molecule's chemical entities supervene on its quantum mechanical Interpretation (3): If quantum mechanical explanations are conditioned on assumptions that are ad hoc, then this constitutes evidence for strong emergence. Hendry takes that this criterion supports DC because the quantum mechanical description is nomologically sufficient for specifying the structure of a molecule, only after the	./cache/work_wvyt7dlzazb6vh3zoi7lrvmlay.pdf	./txt/work_wvyt7dlzazb6vh3zoi7lrvmlay.txt
