universal

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.
