 All of the conditions that Strawson requires in step (3) (diversity, richness, stability, and endurance or transtemporal sameness) arguably are fulfilled as much by the entities that we conceptualize as physical processes as by entities that “are or possess bodies.” For example, William Penn (2022) recently argued for an exclusively process-based version of scientific realism—already the praxis of natural science, but in particular also the scientific models for the fundamental constitution of matter, commits to a thoroughly processual ontology without underlying “basic particulars”: the stability of recurrent dynamic patterns does not entail staticity. Furthermore, one might argue that the entities we conceptualize as processes are physically realized without being literally embodied, and for some of them it holds that we can point at them and distinguish them (“this trickle versus that trickle”) and re-identify them (“the trickle was gone for a minute, but then it came again”). In nature’s spatio-temporal framework we distinguish and re-identify both things and processes. That Strawson’s argument could have appeared plausible is perhaps due to the fact that his illustrations for processes are sounds and explosions, which are not, like many other physical processes, lasting occurrences with determinate location (such as fires, tornadoes, or waterfalls). The initial plausibility of step (4) may also derive from a core assumption of the substance paradigm, namely, the thesis that all processes can be ontologically understood as modifications of substances. On this reductionist view, all processes are ‘owned’ and we identify them via their owner: the murder of Cæsar, the construction of the forbidden city, etc. But the fact that these processes involve certain things and persons is merely one of the aspects that an ontological interpretation of processes should capture, and not a decisive one, since many processes (e.g., tornadoes, lightening bolts, today’s rush-hour in New York) lack a proper ‘subject’ altogether.
