Particulars {particular} are class examples or object properties. Experiences are only about particulars.
Mental constructs {universal, epistemology} depend on inductive inference from experiences of particulars.
quantifier
Statements can include "all...", "some...", or "at least one...".
predicates
Universal statements are actually predicates. They mean, "The objects exist, and, if there is such object, then..." Asserting existence requires subject. Asserting essence requires predicate. Only particular nouns can be statement subjects.
particulars
Universals, Ideas, or Forms are actually particulars. For example, beauty is not itself beautiful. Beauty is not pattern for beauty or the beautiful itself. Universals are relative, not absolute. They are object qualities.
