6956	At what point does an object become 'whole'? [Westaway]
	Full Idea: At what point does an object become 'whole'?
	From: Luke Westaway (talk [2005]), quoted by PG - Db (ideas)
	A reaction: This nice question strikes me as the central one in mereology. It is tempting to reply that the matter is entirely conventional, but there seems an obvious fact about something missing if one piece is absent from a jigsaw, or a cube is chipped.
