Robert Nozick on Indexicality - Dictionary of Arguments

II 112f
Indexical properties: different - e.g. property "P": "reflexive to be self-refering" (non-indexical) - e.g. indexical "to be I".
People have all P, but "being I" is different! The (different) indexical properties arise from the property P.
