 Baber (2015) replies that if the sortal dog is “dominant”, meaning that for any sortal F, if x and y are the same dog, they will also be the same F, then the claim that Fluffy and Spike are the same dog but not absolutely identical is intelligible. After all, we can understand that the claim implies that Fluffy and Spike are the same animal, the same pet, and so on (167). The relative identity trinitarian, Baber says, must hold that “Being does not dominate [i.e. imply sameness with respect to] Person but rather that Person dominates Being”. However, there’s no easy way to prove this, and dominance claims are theory-relative (ibid.). But such a claim will just be a part of the relative identity theorist’s Trinity theory (169).
