Realities change... is that what you are referring to? Although I haven't finished The Difference yet, perhaps you are referring to this very important part of the Identity?:
(The Location is still a larger work in progress... there are a few examples i haven't fully decided upon... Anyway
Each of those variations... time... temperature... devices used... people using.... etc: all define A. A is itself... and when it changes: A is redefined. But until A is changed so radically that it disbecomes itself... it will always remain 'A'. 
I'm not saying it is wrong to use statistics... I'm just defending that the fire is a fire until it is no longer a fire
Kind of like how removing one of my legs makes me one leg less human... and removing both of my legs makes me one legless human
Until you have removed enough of my body to stop calling me human: the changes are not radical enough to declare me inhuman

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
