Individuals, properties, and the explicitness hierarchy

The scenario used by Dienes & Perner to show that individual representation can be implicit when property; representation is explicit can be adapted t o show that property representation can be implicit when individual represe ntation is explicit. So there is no hierarchy of explicitness, contrary to their claim. There is a reading of the "implicit/explicit" distinction that does appear to exhibit an asymmetry parallel to that alleged to hold betwe en individual and property But tills is not a distinction Dienes & Perner m ention, nor is it one that could be easily incorporated into their framewor k.
