Individuals may not be atoms. Atoms would all be identical because they have the same parts (i.e. none).
>Individuals.
I 41
Atomless/mereology: e.g. the open sets of a Euclidean space are atomless.
Deep question: whether the mereology is atomistic or atomless.
Atomless: e.g. continua in the space-time, space time regions, etc. are atomless. Mathematically: mathematically they are discrete but not perceptual.
Atomless mereology: points, lines, etc. are not part of specific individuals (bodies, "events", etc.) in which they lie (Aristotle, Whitehead).
Phenomena/Leibniz: phenomena are atomless.
>Phenomena/Leibniz.
Monads: monads are atoms.
Atomism/mereology/Simons: an individual is part of another iff. all the atoms of the first are atoms of the second (instead SSP). Identity condition for individuals: if they have the same atoms.
>Atomism, >Mereology.
