    The Identity View and the Mereological View have an equal explanatory capacity, but the Identity View, in addition to the metaphysical reduction, seems to untangle the ambiguity of hearing sound and sound sources as two different events and, at the same time, of hearing them as not wholly distinct. This ambiguity evaporates if we identify sound with the event source.
