Individuation/ontology/Simons: mere hyphenated words shall not create a new ontology, because they can not be individuated without the parts.

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.
