To say that A supervenes on B means that B implements A: there can be no change in A without a change in B. In this sense, implementation is the opposite of supervenience. If a system A is embedded in and implemented by a system B, it is usually not possible to say who chances in system B affect system A. The system A can be unaffected, or it can stop to work at all. They are causal independent of each other. And yet there cannot be a difference in the system A without difference in the underlying system B, because the system A is embedded, realized and implemented by system B.

	In a more formal way, supervenience is a kind of dependency relationship, typically held to obtain between sets of properties. A set of properties A is supervenient on a set of properties B, if and only if any two objects x and y which share all properties in B (are "B-indiscernible") must also share all properties in A.
