super= the thesis that it is, as of ti, supererogatory for S to perform a set of actions, αj, beginning at tj (titj) if and only if, and because, both of the following hold: (1) in performingαj, S does not thereby minimally or partially fulfill some positive duty, and (2) there is some alternative set of actions, αi, also beginning at tj (titj) such that: (a) it is, as of ti, both objectively morally permissible for S to performαjand objectively morally permissible for S to performαiand (b) S has more moral reason to perform αj than to perform αi

Super-Max= the thesis that it is, as of ti, supererogatory for S to perform a maximal set of actions, MSAj, beginning at tj (titj) if and only if, and because, there is some alternative maximal set of actions, MSAi,also beginning at tj (titj) such that: (a) it is, as of ti, both objectively morally permissible for S to performMSAjand objectively morally permissible for S to performMSAiand (b) S has more moral reason to perform MSAj than to perform MSAi
