If I put one rabbit in the fridge and then another in the freezer, then
is it by definition, or by example, that I have two rabbits?
If Mary in Perth puts a rabbit in the fridge, and John in Cardiff puts
a rabbit in the freezer, then is it by definition, or by example, that
there are two instances of one rabbit, two instances of a rabbit, or
two rabbits?
So, if there is any justice in the world, are
1) two instances of one thing
2) two instances of a thing
3) two things
the same? and by example or definition?
