I 186 Individuation/mereology/Simon: for individuation mereological terms are important, e.g. to see what Fido is, we must be able to decide what is a part of it at a certain time, which overlaps with it and what is separated from it. >Mereology, >Parts. Problem: Fido itself is not mereologically constant. Solution: we must know the limits within which metabolism is permitted. Type: the type does not specify which particular parts the thing has, but what type of parts it normally does have and what relations these usually relate to each other. >Type/Token.}, note = { Simons I P.
