The phasalist solution to the classic puzzle of the statue and the piece of clay only works for some coincidence puzzles and not others. To address this limitation of phasalism, I develop a novel approach to coincidence puzzles that permits different kinds of coincidence puzzles to be solved in different ways, provided that each solution satisfies certain constraints inspired by the phasalist solution to the statue puzzle. I apply my approach to four different kinds of coincidence puzzles, and I argue that it is no less plausible than rival approaches in the literature.

巧合谜题的相论方法

雕像和粘土的经典谜题的相论解决方案仅适用于某些巧合谜题，而不适用于其他谜题。为了解决相论的这种局限性，我开发了一种新颖的巧合谜题方法，允许以不同的方式解决不同类型的巧合谜题，前提是每个解决方案满足受雕像谜题的相论解决方案启发的某些约束。我将我的方法应用于四种不同类型的巧合谜题，并且我认为它与文献中的竞争对手方法一样合理。
