There is a great divide in the bedeviling [[pedantry]] of law, the between things that are the ''same'' but somehow, over a period of time, ''different''; things that are ''different'' but nonetheless at a given point in time, the same; and things that don’t exist at all, but being unique representations of that nothing on a blockchain, in a Cartesian sense ''do'' exist, are still somehow different from each other. [[Amend]]ment describes that first class; [[fungibility]] the second; credulous gulls the third. | |||
