Philosophy High impact frontier problem ONT Book VII

Overview

Leibniz’s Identity of Indiscernibles states that no two distinct objects share all properties. Quantum mechanics challenges this with identical particles. The τ-framework resolves this: objects are individuated by NF addresses in τ³, which are always distinct even when all observable properties coincide.

Result Statement

Identity of Indiscernibles resolved via NF-address individuation. Quantum identical particles have distinct structural addresses. Status: Resolved.
