    Part of a larger discussion

    Supports→The four-dimensionalist framework of Lewis and Sider allows that Adam is a temporal stage shared by two distinct person-worms that overlap at the pre-twinning segment.

    This framework avoids the counterintuitive requirement that a person must be wholly distinct at every temporal slice, allowing stage-sharing between numerically different continuants.

    Key Terms

    Counterintuitive(describes the strange result that the statement's logic produces)
    A conclusion that seems wrong or goes against what we'd normally expect, even if it might be logically correct.
    framework(Carnap's philosophy of language and logic)
    A structured system of rules or language that must be in place for rational discourse to be possible.
    numerically different continuants(as used in metaphysics and ontology)
    Multiple separate things that continue to exist over time—basically, distinct objects that persist from one moment to the next.
    stage-sharing(as used in metaphysics)
    When different things (or versions of things) share or overlap in the same moment or slice of time.
    temporal slice(referring to different points in time that might affect meaning)

    wholly distinct(as used in logic and ontology)
    Completely separate and different; having nothing in common with something else.
