Proposals: Substance Parasite Discovered

Aristotle divides reality (rightly) into accidents and substance. Accidents are those non-essential qualities of an object such as colour, taste, shape, form, molecular structure etc. Substance is the 'it-ness' of an object, it is that which produces the accidental properties such as shape, form etc.

Now the sage Aquinas rightly noted that substances can be 'transubstantiated' i.e. that a substance can mask itself under new accidental properties, as Christ becomes the bread in the Eucharist.

According to BBC news a man in New Deli, Ken Moore, discovered as of yesterday that when he used the words 'Vishwambhar' (the name for his dog) the words did not denote his dog, but rather a-non existent entity. Furthermore Moore found that when he used the words 'substance parasite masquerading as dog' the words did indeed refer to the entity formerly known as his dog.

It is theorised by myself that the parasite moves from vessel to vessel devilishly eradicating the substance of the being it occupies. It must be killed.

How then is this eradication to be effected? It was posited by Eumenides in a BBC interview that substances can be destroyed upon making contact with the earth's centre, the point at which the four elements, (earth, wind, fire, water) form together and form apart.

I propose we throw this dog into the earth's core.
