Even so, there is a non-qualitative difference and it concerns you in particular.
Mere possibilia, merely possible non-concretia, and non-qualitative haecceities have no real place in that picture.
For the committed haecceitist, a remaining option admits fundamental qualitative as well as fundamental non-qualitative properties.
So understood, haecceitism has no significance for the fate of physicalism, since haecceitistic differences are purely non-qualitative in character.
So, for example, the possibility that Napoleon escapes Elba is non-qualitative, while the possibility that there are four red objects is a qualitative possibility.
A natural way to describe this possibility is as one where the distribution of qualitative properties is just as it actually is, but where non-qualitative properties are distributed differently.
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.
Moreover, some follow Hofweber (2005) in taking the irreducibility of haecceities and other non-qualitative properties to physical properties to constitute a challenge to more sophisticated conceptions of physicalism.
According to Possibility Haecceitism, maximal possibilities that differ haecceitistically include the very same qualitative possibilities and differ only in terms of the non-qualitative possibilities they include.
If one wishes to maintain that quantum particles are individuals, then their individuality will have to be taken as conferred by Lockean substance, primitive thisness or, in general, some form of non-qualitative haecceistic difference.
The possible existence of such non-qualitative properties as explanations of numerical distinction between substances can be made plausible by considering a famous counterexample to the identity of indiscernibles suggested by Max Black.
Indeed, it is tempting to postulate that the qualitative aspects of mentality affect non-qualitative elements of internal processing, and that they, for example, contribute to arousal, attention, and receptivity to associative conditioning.
Perhaps the most interesting non-qualitative approach is the theory, often associated with Aquinas (but attacked by Scotus in the forms presented by Godfrey of Fontaines and Giles of Rome), that individuation is by extended matter: by, as we might say, chunks of matter.
., Hawthorne and Manley (2012: 204) consider the deployment of haecceities and other non-qualitative properties in a semantics for demonstratives—while other applications are more general in scope—e.g., analyses of de re senses or individual concepts in terms of haecceities.
In addition, those who affirm the existence of haecceities and other non-qualitative properties might still go on to reject the distinctive modal commitments of haecceitism (e.g., denying that things could differ non-qualitatively without differing qualitatively).
A more general consequence can be stated using the distinction between qualitative and non-qualitative properties, where a qualitative property is intuitively a property that doesn’t concern any particular entities, while a non-qualitative property is a property that does concern one or more particular entities.
Thus, Shamik Dasgupta (2014, 2017) defines qualitative facts as facts which are not about any particular individuals, and argues that all the basic facts that constitute the universe are qualitative, the individualistic (i.e., non-qualitative) facts being grounded in that qualitative basis (see below on grounding as a relation between facts).

Qualitative indiscernibility is more demanding than duplication: whereas duplicates can differ extrinsically, qualitatively indiscernible objects must also match in their relations to their environments, so that in a non-symmetric universe, no two things are qualitatively indiscernible.
