3304	Why should packed-together particles be a thing (Mt Everest), but not scattered ones? [Benardete,JA]
	Full Idea: Why suppose these particles packed together constitute a macro-entity (namely, Mt Everest), whereas those, of equal number, scattered around, fail to add up to anything beyond themselves?
	From: José A. Benardete (Metaphysics: the logical approach [1989], Ch. 2)
