9. Objects / C. Structure of Objects / 6. Constitution of an Object

16067

Constitution is not identity, because it is an asymmetric dependence relation

16069

There are three main objections to seeing constitution as different from identity

16065

Constitution is identity (being in the same place), or it isn't (having different possibilities)

9. Objects / C. Structure of Objects / 8. Parts of Objects / a. Parts of objects

16068

The weight of a wall is not the weight of its parts, since that would involve double-counting

9. Objects / F. Identity among Objects / 3. Relative Identity

16074

Relative identity may reject transitivity, but that suggests that it isn't about 'identity'
