Ah.

If I am wholly present now (t1)...
And wholly present tomorrow (t2)...

then t1 and t2 must share all the same properties.

because if x and y have different properties then x and y cannot be the same thing (by leibniz law)

and thus if there is numeric identity between x and y (me at t1 and me at t2) then how is it possible for x and y to have different properties?

i think that is one of the motivations behind four dimensionalism...
