    Challenges→Chains of exact location are always short (length one)

    If exact location is indexed to temporal parameters, Functionality holds only within a time-slice, permitting chains of exact location across distinct but overlapping regions without violating the identity condition.

    Key Terms

    Functionality(Formal constraint on the exact location relation)
    The principle that if y is exactly located at z and y is exactly located at z*, then z equals z*; exact location is functional (many-to-one at most)
    Identity condition(in metaphysics and logic)
    A rule that tells you when two things are actually the same thing, rather than just similar or related.
    Indexed to temporal parameters(as used in metaphysics/ontology)
    Connected to or dependent on specific points in time; meaning something's properties or location are tied to when we're measuring it.
    Time-slice(as used in metaphysics)
    A snapshot of something at a single moment in time, like a freeze-frame in a video.
    exact location(Used to define interpenetration and overlap between entities)
