I 134
Change/event/Simons: actually events cannot change. Exceptions: e.g. the confrontation became more heated, the wedding party was moved into the house. Solution: in reality, we are talking about the involved continuants.
>Events, >Continuants, >Motion, >Temporal identity.
I 135
Change/Simons: change in one variable (vector or scalar, e.g. acceleration) is a measure of change, not change in itself...
>Measuring.
I 176
Change/Simons: ... but it is the whole continuant, not just a part that has these different properties in succession.
Attribution/change: it follows that the attribution of properties to a continuant normally must specify the point in time as well.
>Attribution, >Properties.
I 193
Part/change/flux/shift/SimonsVsChisholm: if a small part is cut off a table, then this is not a table.
>Process/Flux.
ChisholmVsVs: it is a table because it was there before, it must be a table.
Solution/Quine: out of the many simultaneously entangled sums that could all be a table only that one should count as a table which is not embedded in the others. Tables are meant to mutually exclude each other.
>Mereological sum.
