The paper examines the principles of Unrestricted Mereological Fusion (UMF) and Universal Mereological Composition (UMC) explaining them from the perspective of mereology and discussing how the composition of parts can result in the formation of objects. Arguments are presented in favour and against UMF and UMC considering whether objects can be composed of a random selection of temporal parts.
