Duplication objection(as used in philosophy of personal identity): A challenge to a theory asking: if we create two identical copies of something, how do we know which one is the original? This problem shows the theory might not give us a clear answer.
God(Classical theism; used to fix the referent of 'G' in the Bayesian formulation): An eternal, personal being of maximal power, knowledge, and goodness who created the universe
Identity(Adams treats identity statements as a variety of atomic formula rather than a logical truth exempt from existence presuppositions): A relation between an object and itself, expressed as an atomic formula (a=a), subject to the same existence-entailment conditions as other atomic predicates under GSA
Principled reason(as a philosophical standard): A consistent logical ground or justification based on an underlying rule or theory, rather than an arbitrary decision.
