nonidentity
State of otherness
Nonidentity is the condition of not being identical—the state of being different or distinct from something else.
In philosophy, it addresses questions of what makes one thing separate from another: The nonidentity of the two concepts became clear upon closer examination.
The nonidentity problem in ethics concerns whether future people can be harmed by decisions that also determine their existence.
