Domain-specific¶
- Ship of Theseus
- In metaphysics of identity the puzzle is the canonical motivation for the distinction between endurantism (objects persist by being wholly present at each time, so identity requires substrate continuity) and perdurantism (objects persist by having temporal parts, so the maintenance ship and the reassembled ship may both be the original in different respects), and it threads through debates about personal identity, species concepts in evolutionary biology, corporate continuity in law, and authenticity in conservation practice
This sourceThat the puzzle canonically motivates the endurantism-perdurantism distinction about the mode of persistence.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. The single citation of this work carries no recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
