Averroes and his Latin followers held that some relations, like equality in a homogeneous magnitude, are grounded in a single intrinsic foundation requiring no distinct correlative accident.

Averroes(as Al-Ghazali's philosophical opponent): A 12th-century Islamic philosopher (also called Ibn Rushd) who believed Aristotle's logic could be combined with Islamic theology, and who disagreed with Al-Ghazali about how creation works.
Correlative accident(as what Averroes argued is NOT needed to explain certain relations): In medieval philosophy, an 'accident' is a property or quality that a thing has (like color or size), and 'correlative' means it's connected to something else. A correlative accident would be a separate quality that exists because of a relation to another thing.
Equality in a homogeneous magnitude(as an example of the type of relation being discussed): When two things that are made of the same kind of stuff (like two identical rods) are exactly the same size or amount.
Intrinsic foundation(as what Averroes believed explains relations): A basic reason or cause that comes from inside the thing itself, rather than from something external or separate.
