15846 In Parmenides, if composition is identity, a whole is nothing more than its parts [Plato, by Harte,V]

9. Objects / C. Structure of Objects / 7. Substratum
16579 There may be different types of substrate, or temporary substrates [Pasnau]
16580 A substrate may be 'prime matter', which endures through every change [Pasnau]
16596 A substratum can't be 'bare', because it has a job to do [Pasnau]
16584 If a substrate gives causal support for change, quite a lot of the ingredients must endure [Pasnau]
9. Objects / C. Structure of Objects / 8. Parts of Objects / a. Parts of objects
2084 If a word has no parts and has a single identity, it turns out to be the same kind of thing as a letter [Plato]
15849 Plato says only a one has parts, and a many does not [Plato, by Harte,V]
15850 Anything which has parts must be one thing, and parts are of a one, not of a many [Plato]
9. Objects / C. Structure of Objects / 8. Parts of Objects / c. Wholes from parts
15844 A sum is that from which nothing is lacking, which is a whole [Plato]
15843 The whole can't be the parts, because it would be all of the parts, which is the whole [Plato]
13260 Plato says wholes are either containers, or they're atomic, or they don't exist [Plato, by Koslicki]
13259 It seems that the One must be composed of parts, which contradicts its being one [Plato]
