Mereo-locational principles(as used in metaphysics): Rules about where the pieces of something are positioned in relation to the whole thing—like how the parts of a car relate to the car itself.
Metaphysical views(as the type of disagreement being discussed): A person's beliefs about the fundamental nature of reality—what exists, what is real, and how the world is ultimately structured (as opposed to how it appears to us).
Parts and wholes(as used in metaphysics): The relationship between individual pieces (parts) and the complete object they make up (the whole); for example, a wheel is a part of a car, which is the whole.
Space itself(as used in metaphysics): Not just empty air, but the basic structure of reality that allows things to have location, size, and distance from each other—whether it's absolute, relative, or something else entirely.
