Agreed. Very interesting take on the matter. I'm not exactly sure I like the conclusion that identity is subjective, but at least it's coherent.

- jfengel 3y ago"Subjective" is kind of the wrong word. "Relative" is a bit clearer. Identity is relative to the situations in which you need it. Two situations with the same requirements will have the same identity criteria. It's not a matter of opinion (or rather, it could be, if that were relevant to the ontology). It's an objective fact. It's just that a macro-object is many different objective facts, and those facts interact with other facts in different ways.
