    It is not the case that Indeterminate identity propagates through time, so ND cannot yield a determinate verdict of distinctness at t' from an indeterminate basis at t.

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Indeterminacy at t may concern epistemic access, not metaphysical facts—which remain determinate and propagate.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Identity standards (continuity, spatiotemporal tracking) can yield determinate verdicts even from indeterminate bases.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.ND's verdict-generating procedure may operate at t' on determinate facts there, bypassing t's indeterminacy.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.If identity facts at t are indeterminate, no determinate facts obtain at t to ground determinate identity at t'.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Temporal dynamics cannot generate determinacy from indeterminacy without additional metaphysical resources.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Non-descriptive verdicts require determinate input conditions; indeterminacy at t undercuts this requirement.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
