Is B "other than" A in any of your examples Alwayson? Can you establish that while remaining consistent with your position of negation? Or do we have to accept that there is an "a" and a "b" already- at the very least? Aren't we willing to entertain the notion that you've simply imputed identities to both a and b that have nothing to do with either a or b? What conclusions can we draw from this about a or b (or their relationship/lack thereof)?
Entertaining the notion of an A and a B, to my mind, is claiming that something like an "identity" exists. We're off to a bad start I suppose.....with respect to the OP.
