You might wonder how this person who was late for a meeting is indeed identical to you. After all, you have different properties: one of you was late for the meeting, one of you wasn’t. These are thorny issues, but one way to understand this is by thinking of yourself in other possible worlds as you would think about yourself at other times. Five minutes ago, you were standing; now you’re sitting down. Despite this change, however, you’re still identical to yourself now and to yourself five minutes prior. In what follows, we won’t discuss the metaphysical details of how things can be identical over time without violating IOI. Instead, we’ll just assume that individuals can be identical across different worlds just as they are identical across different times.
