I now get different results for substantivalism.  Wonder why it changes???

----------------
What is substantivalism?

The term substantivalism describes a broad category of metaphysics
where an object's properties and nature determine its identity. In
this school of thought, objects are distinct and separate from the
outside world.

It is contrasted by Relationalism which argues that objects have
relational identities. Modern physics supports Relationalism, with
Quantum Mechanics arguing that particles have a wave-particle duality
and strings having a shape and direction but only when observed.

This response seems to relate to <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relationalism>
"According to Newton’s substantivalism, space and time are entities in
their own right, existing independently of things. Leibniz’s
relationism, on the other hand, describes space and time as systems of
relations that exist between objects".
