Trope bundle theory(Ontology / metaphysics of properties and objects)
The view that for an object to exist, its tropes must be mutually compresent — i.e., an object is a bundle of compresent tropes
compresence(Russell's bundle theory)
A special relation between properties that binds co-instantiated universals into a substance
nominalism(Metaphysics; opposed to realism about universals)
The view that abstract entities such as properties or universals do not exist, and that predicative facts must be explained without appealing to such entities.
