Just to be clear, can you point out the specific examples in M&S that
don't work with the statements as facts interpretation.

For the record, section 5, the formal model section of M&S states:

  There is a set called Statements, each element of which is a triple
  of the form {pred, sub, obj}

That says that each Statement is a triple of the form (s,p,o).  A 
triple in mathematics is uniquely determined by its three components.

Can you clarify what that sentence means :)  How can two identical things
have different identity?  If they  have different identity, they are not
identical!

Different representations of statements.  In my world model, statements
are abstract and don't have a location on the net.  Perhaps yours is 
different.
