whatever can apply to the other,” then no two things in the world are alike in this sense. For in most cases where two things are conceived as alike—such as two grains of wheat, two specks of dust, and the like—it is known that this individual is not that individual; that the spatial location of this individual is not the very same location as that of the other; and that the accidents inhering in one are not the very same accidents inhering in the other. Whatever distinguishes one from the other in its individual identity, attributes, and spatial location cannot belong to the other: the other cannot have the spatial location belonging to the first. For this would entail this individual becoming that very individual, its location becoming the other’s location, and its attribute becoming the very same attribute as the other’s. This would negate their being two and entail their being one.
