How fine-grained Kim's events are depends on how finely properties are individuated [Kim, by Schaffer,J]

8974	Events are composed of an object with an attribute at a time [Kim, by Simons]

8975	Events cannot be merely ordered triples, but must specify the link between the elements [Kim, by Simons]

8976	If events are ordered triples of items, such things seem to be sets, and hence abstract [Simons on Kim]

8977	Since properties like self-identity and being 2+2=4 are timeless, Kim must restrict his properties [Simons on Kim]

8980	Kim's theory results in too many events [Simons on Kim]

12. Knowledge Sources / B. Perception / 4. Sense Data / b. Nature of sense-data
