It seems that the so-called primitive thisness or haecceity is missing to make up a sufficient condition for a particle, i.e., it must be possible to say that it is this or that particle which has been counted in order to account for the fundamental difference between ups and downs in a wave pattern and particles particles (see also the entry on quantum theory: identity and individuality).    From Wordnik.com.  [Quantum Field Theory] Reference

Being without context or environment or principium individuationis, a quiddity with no haecceity, a platonic idea, even duplicate editions of such a quality (were they possible), would be indiscernible, and no sign could be given, no result altered, whether the feeling I meant to stand for this edition or for that, or whether it simply resembled the quality without meaning to stand for it at all.    From Wordnik.com.  [Meaning of Truth] Reference

What was so vexing to Dr. Zog Kadare at that moment was precisely that he was already a Pulse-Soldier, that he was already where he was to go, that he was already ossified forever in the Eternal position of the supreme summit and no more stages, ladders, platforms, ranks, advancements, no more situating oneself amidst the discursive topography of an ordered and at once organically terraced garden of still really existing (and for the pleasure of no one save radical chance in the capacity of an irreducible principle corresponding to the whatever of everything or if one likes the mad quiddity, the feverish whatness of the is, the so called in its brute haecceity and so forth it all disclosed its meaningless thread).    From Wordnik.com.  [The Pulse-Soldier] Reference

More generally, one might approach it in modal fashion, through the doctrine of haecceitism: this asserts that two possible worlds may describe some individual in qualitatively the same way (that is, as possessing the same set of properties), yet represent that individual differently by ascribing a different haecceity or thisness in each world, or more generally, by ascribing some non-qualitative aspect to the individual (Lewis 1986; Huggett.    From Wordnik.com.  [Identity and Individuality in Quantum Theory] Reference
