MW: You have not explained why it is not correct. Why is it important that a
record is say a temporal relationship rather than a qua-individual? Would
you have the same objection if it were a state? (03)
MW: I disagree that there is a proliferation of records, for accidental
properties you have to have some record that represents the period of time
the object has the accidental property. The rest is just about what you want
to call it. (04)
