    Part of a larger discussion

    Challenges→A body cannot occupy the same space as another body because both possess matter and dimension, which together cause impermeability.

    If dimension is redundant, the conjunction 'matter AND dimension causes impermeability' fails, and matter alone may permit co-location under different haecceities.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Spatial extension (dimension) is logically separable from matter's intrinsic properties; redundancy follows from this conceptual independence.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Identity conditions based on haecceity (thisness) are prior to spatial location; co-location is compatible with distinct intrinsic identities.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Historical cases of immaterial substances occupying space suggest impermeability requires additional metaphysical work beyond matter itself.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Dimension and matter are necessarily bundled in actual physics; logical separability doesn't establish metaphysical redundancy in concrete reality.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Co-location under different haecceities violates Leibniz's Law: if two entities differ intrinsically, they cannot occupy identical spatiotemporal regions.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Impermeability appears to be a relational property of matter-in-space, not a property matter possesses independently of dimensional structure.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
