 Applied to the Trinity , Pickup suggests that what at first look like different properties (generating the Son, being generated, and being spirated) really amount to a single distributional property of God, which he calls “generation”. This is the property of generating the Son at p1, being generated at p2, and being spirated at p3. This is not a matter of God being different at different person spaces; rather, at each space God has the distributional property called “generation” (431). In this way, the theory does not deny the indiscernibility of identicals, the principle that if any x and any y are numerically identical, then they can’t ever differ. The persons of the Trinity, on this account, never do differ, although it may seem that way at first glance.
