rational nature(Used to ground the normative claim that humans ought to align their choices with what this rational nature tends toward.)
The overarching order or system of which rational beings (humans) are parts, characterized by purposive, goal-directed structure.
valuation(supervaluationist logic applied to category mistakes)
An assignment of the values true/false to each atomic sentence, where unproblematic instances receive truth values as usual and category mistakes are assigned an arbitrary truth value.
