Primes

• Criteria of Individuation
  • In logic and set theory the criteria become axioms: Leibniz's identity of indiscernibles is an identity criterion (no two distinct things share all properties), the axiom of extensionality is a unity-and-identity rule for sets (a set just is its members; two sets with the same members are one set), and a urelement-versus-set distinction is a persistence-kind choice.
