Chapter 4
Colocation
The problem of collocation:
a) no two things in same spatial location for same time period
b) no two physical objects could be composed of exactly the same
parts at some level of decomposition.
Argument 1: Counting
1 million atoms arranged statue-wise in a certain space.
Are there 1 million non-subatomic things there, or 1,000,001 (atoms +
statue)?
Rebuttal:
This misconstrues the problem. Statues are not independent of their
parts.
