    P1(Premise establishing that self-subsistent entities are not immanent in humans.)
    Nothing that is itself by itself is in humans.
    disjunction(as used in formal logic)
    A logical 'or' statement; 'a or b' (written a∨b) is true when at least one of the two parts is true.
    falsely excludes(as used in logical criticism)
    Wrongly leaves something out by saying it's not an option, when actually it should be considered as a real possibility.
    hylomorphic composites(as used in metaphysics)
    Things made from a combination of matter (physical stuff) and form (structure or essence). The term comes from ancient Greek philosophy and suggests that some things are neither purely material nor purely mental—they're a blend of both.
    idealist framework
