    Supports→A zero-place predicable is not a predicable (i.e., it is a limit case of the series of predicables, not a limit simpliciter).

    A 1-place predicable is a limit simpliciter of the ordered series of predicables because it still satisfies the definition of a predicable.

    To appreciate the limit simpliciter/limit case distinction, consider the speed of moving bodies. It has an upper limit, the speed of light. This is a limit simpliciter. But the lower limit, namely the speed 0 km/sec, is a limit case and not a limit simpliciter. Whereas the upper limit simpliciter is a speed, the lower limit case is not a speed. A particle moving at 0 km/sec is not moving. For a second example, consider the series: 3-place predicable, 2-place predicable, 1-place predicable. Since a predicable (e.g., “___ is wise”) must have at least one place to be a predicable, a 1-place predi...
