This variety, known as exdurantism or the "stage view", is closely akin to the perdurantist position. They also countenance a view of persisting objects which have temporal parts that succeed one another through time. However, instead of identifying the persisting object as the entire set or sum of its temporal parts, the exdurantist argues that any object under discussion is a single stage (time-slice, temporal part, etc.
This type of view, called exdurantism or the "stage view", is similar to the perdurantist position. It suggests that objects persist over time and are composed of temporal parts that change sequentially. However, instead of viewing the entire object as a sum of its parts, exdurantists argue that each object is a single stage (a specific point in time).
