 On the macro scale, the macro-biotic scale, where PEOPLE stuff themselves,
 purge themselves, and live on day to day, as their cells die, some being
 replaced by COPIES,  on this scale, you have the same problem as you
 attribute to the 'lower particules'.  Ultimately, though, it is a
 particular local aggregate which gives rise to identity.  Furthermore,
 my ideas depend on ME, my ideas would not have existed without ME.
 They may persist through all the cellular replacements of my life until
 not one natal cell is left.  I'm still me and my ideas are still mine.
 HOWEVER, for "real mathematical objects", who is the generating subject,
 the objective nexus which gives rise to them ?????
