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)
wholly present(Described as the implicit rationale behind ordinary concepts of objects, contrasted with the perdurantist view that objects have temporal parts.)
An object is wholly present at a time if the entire object, not merely a temporal stage or part of it, exists at that time.
