Identity Borders

Thus far we have seen that (1) the Fact of Exclusive Conjoinment Border, (2) the Alter Subject Identification Border, (3) the various types of Physiological Border, (4) the Spatial Border, (5) the various types of Psychological Border (6) the Unity of Consciousness Border (7) the Causal Border and (8) the Metaphysical Substance (e.g. Soul) Border, are not necessarily boundaries between persons—they are merely apparent excluders of Open Individualism, both individually and collectively. Therefore the existence of these borders is not adequate to show that Open Individualism is false: the borders that have traditionally been used to separate people from people are not, necessarily, Boundaries between persons. And it is this that we set out to show—namely, how Open Individualism could be possible in light of its apparent excluders.
