    Part of a larger discussion

    Supports→The Form of the F cannot be one, contradicting the Oneness of Forms.

    The Form of the F, as cause of F-ness in numerically distinct particulars A and B, must ground numerically distinct instances of F-ness, introducing real internal differentiation into the Form itself.

    Key Terms

    F-ness(as used in logic and philosophy of properties)
    A shorthand way of saying 'the quality of being F'—so if F stands for 'red,' then F-ness means 'redness,' the actual quality or property itself.
    Form (or Idea)(as the central concept in Plato's metaphysics)
    In Plato's philosophy, a perfect, eternal, unchanging template or blueprint that exists beyond the physical world—for example, the Form of Beauty is the perfect ideal that all beautiful things in the world imperfectly copy.
    Ground (or grounding)(explaining what provides the basis for requirements)
    To serve as the foundation or reason for something; to explain why something is true or obligatory.
    Internal differentiation(as a property being discussed about God's nature)
    The quality of having distinct, separate parts or differences within something; in this case, whether God has different qualities or aspects within God's being.

    numerically distinct(Used to characterize the parts of the Form that must exist separately in each participant)
    Being distinct in the sense of being different individual tokens, not merely different in kind or quality.
    particulars(Buddhist epistemology (pramāṇa theory))
    The actual objects of the world that are directly accessible only through perception and are ineffable — they cannot be captured or referred to by words
