    Challenges→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.

    If e is exactly located at region r, it is natural for the immanent realist to hold that um and uc are each exactly located at r or at overlapping subregions of r.

    To see why, let e be an electron, and suppose that it instantiates two different universals: a mass universal, um, and a charge universal, uc. Suppose that e is exactly located at region r. Then it will be natural for the immanent realist to say that (i) um is exactly located at r as well, or at least at some region rm that has r as a part, and (ii) uc is exactly located at r or at some region rc that has r as a part. (If these universals are also instantiated elsewhere, then it will be debatabl
