IV 58
R-relation/identity/continuity/person/Lewis: certain relationship and connectedness among person states (no identity).
I-relation: what permanent persons are identical to the former ones?
Important argument: both relations are identical, because they are coextensive.

IV 67
I-relation is not merely defined by identity, it is also derived from the personhood. This is gradual.
>Individuation, >Person/Lewis.

Schwarz I 99
Relations/Lewis: intrinsic: e.g., greater-relation (concerns only the two sides).
Extrinsic: e.g. grandmother-relation (needs a third).
Internal relation: (not equal to intrinsic relation): depends only on intrinsic properties and is reducible to them.
External relation: is also intrinsic, but just not reducible.
E.g., Spatiotemporal relation: "intrinsic with respect to pairs".
Identity/partial relation/elementarity/Lewis: These are all no relations!
>Intrinsic, >Extrinsic.
