This chapter provides a solution to the imperfect community difficulty. The basic idea is to introduce a notion of resemblance, which applies not only to particulars but also to pairs of particulars (and pairs of pairs of particulars, and so on). By this means one can distinguish imperfect from perfect communities in terms of resemblance. Nothing here requires going beyond the proper resources of Resemblance Nominalism. Application of this solution to infinite cases is discussed. Alternative solutions to the difficulty are discussed and rejected.
