W Somerset Maugham "Every man who knows how to read has it in his power to magnify himself, to multiply the ways in which he exists, to make his life full, significant, and interesting".
The complete modal profile of RF can be made explicit by surveying all the different combinations of properties RF exhibits in the possible worlds in which he exists.

Since God has his essential properties in every possible world in which he exists and does not have his contingent properties in every possible world in which he exists, his contingent properties can't be identical with, or equivalent to, his essential properties.
Even those who think that lots of properties exist necessarily often believe that non-qualitative properties like these are contingent; they depend upon Harry, and they only exist in circumstances in which he exists.
According to theism, many of God's properties—his omniscience and omnipotence, his goodness and love are essential to him: he has them in every possible world in which he exists.
These difficulties include the fact that it seems too much to demand that Russell have exactly the same early history (or origin) as his actual early history (or origin) in every possible world in which he exists.
But on the KP theory, it is an entirely objective question whether Socrates fails to be human in some world in which he exists: the answer must be Yes or No and is independent of human choices and interests.
On the contrary: if there is no possible world in which Russell exists with properties different from his actual properties, then it is plausible to conclude that there is no possible world, other than the actual world, in which he exists at all.
