Correspondence(in philosophy of logic): The idea that something (like a proof) has a specific meaning or identity that matches up with something else in a precise way.
Descartes: # Descartes René Descartes was a French philosopher and mathematician from the 1600s who fundamentally changed how people think about knowledge and the mind. He's famous for the idea "I think, therefore I am" (cogito ergo sum), which means that the very fact that you can think proves you exist—a foundation for modern philosophy. He also invented the coordinate system used in mathematics (the x and y axes on a graph), which connects geometry and algebra in practical ways we still use today.
Henry More(as a historical figure): A 17th-century English philosopher and theologian who was a contemporary of Descartes and engaged in debates with him about the nature of motion and space.
Property theories(as older philosophical ideas Descartes may have been responding to): Philosophical ideas about what properties (like color, weight, or location) are and how they belong to objects.
