Continuant/Chisholm/Simons: E.g. people, trees, cars, water waves: precisely not mereologically constant. >Mereology.
Continuants are subject to flow of their parts - most parts are not necessary - no mereological essentialism. >Parts.
Solution: ens sukzessivum/E.S.: not itself permanent, itself constituted from continuants E.g. ens sukzessivum: President of the United States - (Simons:this is ontologically dubious). - ens sukzessivum is modally analogous to non-negative situations. >Situations: For the terminology of mereology cf. >Peter Simons.

Problem: entia sukzessiva must not have any negative parts.
II 179
Solution: by adding parts an object can stop to exist. E.g. egg in fertilization.
Also see >Perdurantism, >Endurantism.
