Primes¶
- Equivalence Relation
- Philosophy uses equivalence-relation reasoning in the analysis of identity-of-indiscernibles and of operational definitions, in the metaphysical framework Wiggins (2001) develops around sortal-relative sameness.
This sourceUpdated metaphysics of identity and individuation; develops sortal-relative sameness, the identity-of-indiscernibles principle, and operational-definition framing (arguing, against Geach, that identity is absolute).

- Identity-Providing Kind
- Modeling a temporary status as the identity-providing kind predicts absurdities: that an instance ceases to exist when the status ends, that ending a relationship annihilates one of its parties, that an office-holder and the human are one entity with the consequence that the human pre-dates their own existence or vanishes on leaving the post.
This sourceCanonical sortal theory: substance-sortals supply persistence criteria across phase-sortals an instance merely passes through, with the cease-to-exist test distinguishing kind from phase (e.g. 'human being' versus 'child'/'student').
