Conceptual relation(what negative theology tries to avoid establishing between God and finite beings): A mental connection or link between two ideas that allows your mind to think about them together.
Finite beings(Sharpe's ontology): Things such as men, horses, and stones, really existing outside the mind, composed of an individual substance together with formal entities existing in and through it.
Negative Theology(A prominent feature of most variants of Neoplatonist thought.): The doctrine that one cannot predicate anything of God (apart from Unity and Existence).
comparison class(Quantitative genetics methodology): The set of alternative genotype-environment combinations against which a focal genotype-environment pairing is evaluated to determine relative genetic vs environmental influence on a trait
