    1. The indiscernibility of identicals. A done deal!

    2. The identity of indiscernibles. Jury's still out!

    Wolfgang Beltracchi (forger) et al

    Even a perfect replica is unacceptable, it's declared a forgery and while the original might've fetched millions, the copy (even one perfect down to each brush stroke, shade of color, etc.) isn't worth a sou!

    2. The identity of indiscernibles. Jury's still out!     — Agent Smith

    In the context of quantum mechanics, two identical particles can't be discerned. One can put no label on them and the one of next moment can be the one before. You simply cannot say the identical particles have a separate continued existence in spacetime.

    two identical particles — Raymond

    Identity & Mathematics/Numbers (1 & others).

    A, B (2)

    A, A (1/2? :chin: ). Set theoretically, no element may be repeated in a set.

    I could also have written: 35467 identical particles. That's the strange stuff. Any time you can discern the number of particles, at no time they exist on their own.

    Sancta Trinitas Unus Deus:

    Non-set: There may be more than 1 identical particle (a proton, another proton, one more proton). In other words 3 protons (the Son, the Father, the Holy Spirit).

    Set: Repetitions not allowed ergo, {proton}, 1 proton/God.

    In other words 3 protons (the Son, the Father, the Holy Spirit). — Agent Smith

    Proton=first
    Alpha=omega=Proton
    Proton=last

    The Father=First
    The Son=at Last
    The Holy Spirit=Unifying

    PPP:
    The First, The Last, The in-Between

    DUO
    Discernable, Undiscernable, One

    Thus:

    The Holy Trinity=The Holy Duo

    3=2
    3=1

    It follows,

    1=2

    I knew it!
