Authors: J. Stachel, M. Iftime Date: Sat, 28 May 2005 Abstract: In this paper we review the hole argument for the space-time points and elementary particles and generalize the hole argument to include all geometric object fields and diffeomorphisms; and, by application of forgetful functors to abstract from differentiability and even continuity, the hole argument is applied to a much wider class of mathematical objects. We discuss the problem concerning the individuation of the objects in more general settings such that fibered manifolds, fibered sets and n-ary relations. |
