    Part of a larger discussion

    Supports→Immanent realism faces a problem because distinct universals (such as a mass universal and a charge universal) would have overlapping exact locations, yet the universals themselves do not overlap.

    Distinct simple universals can be co-located without overlapping because location is an external relation that does not constitute or decompose the intrinsic structure of a universal.

    Key Terms

    Overlapping(spatial reasoning)
    Two things taking up the same space at the same time, like two colors mixed together in one spot.
    Simple universals(metaphysics)
    Properties that cannot be broken down into smaller parts; they're fundamental and irreducible.
    co-located(describing the relationship between sounds and the events that produce them)
    Existing in the same place at the same time; occupying the same physical space.
    distinct(in formal systems)
    Different from each other; not the same thing.
    external relation(used by most trope theorists to characterize compresence)
    A relation that does not hold merely in virtue of the existence of its relata, and is therefore a real addition to the entities it relates.

    intrinsic structure(as used in metaphysics)
    The internal features or organization that something has because of what it fundamentally is.
    universals(Debated in Lefèvre's Disceptatio de universali between two students of Chrysippus's academy)
    Either what particular classes of things share, or what those who reason say they share (decided by convention)
