Plenty of Room for Multilocation

Classical mereology is a particularly strong theory about the part-whole relation. Not only does it ensure that any collection of entities composes a whole, or 'fusion', it also states that this object is unique: no two entities have the same parts. Recently, Claudio Calosi (dialectica 68(1):121-139, 2014) has argued that this extensional aspect makes classical mereology incompatible with multilocated entities. Calosi's argument is arguably the most precise one from a whole battery of arguments to the effect that some mereological principle is at odds with multilocation. Still, I show that Calosi's arguments fail and that classical mereology is a safe space for multilocation. Moreover, I argue that the question of extensionality is orthogonal to the question of multilocation.
