Desert is a dyadic relation
View through CrossRef
Abstract
The orthodox view of the metaphysics of desert is that desert is a triadic relation that obtains between a subject, an object and a desert base. Not only is this view lacking in motivation, but conceiving of the desert base as part of the desert relation renders the concept of desert incoherent. Instead, desert should be thought of as a dyadic relation between a subject and an object, where desert bases are simply the grounds for dyadic desert facts.

Abstract
The orthodox view of the metaphysics of desert is that desert is a triadic relation that obtains between a subject, an object and a desert base.
Not only is this view lacking in motivation, but conceiving of the desert base as part of the desert relation renders the concept of desert incoherent.
Instead, desert should be thought of as a dyadic relation between a subject and an object, where desert bases are simply the grounds for dyadic desert facts.
