Full Idea
Arguments for statue being the clay are: that the clay is intrinsically like the statue, that the clay has the same atoms as the statue', that objects don't have modal properties such as being necessarily F, and the reference of 'property' changes.
Gist of Idea
Clay is intrinsically and atomically the same as statue (and that lacks 'modal properties')
