I have to disagree here, I cannot see how you can somehow make one into two
and then not have the same power to take two into one.   Define this
something, where does the other one come from, if it comes from somewhere
other than the other one you have a different history.   It looks to me like
this is breaking the laws of physics.

To me atoms do have individuality, they have their own perspective or
placement in the universe.
