Being one of a number (0 <= N <= oo) of possible tokens of a type;
existing
in a space-time location, in the case og physical instantiation.
Instantiation is a one-many relationship. One type, many tokens
(instances).
In Platonia, there is exactly one of everything.
There can also be 0 instances -- non-instantiation. Which neatly
solves the Harry Potter/White Rabbuit problem. We do
not see WR/HP universes, because we are instantiated and they
are not.
