Ontology/Lewis: for me it consists in iterative set theory with individuals - the only unorthodox strait is my view of what individuals there are - part-whole relation: for me, it relates to individuals, not sets.
>Individual/Lewis.
Sets/possible worlds: therefore there is no set in a world in the sense of being part - sets: E.g. numbers, properties, propositions, events - even a sequence of possible individuals (all from the same world) is strictly speaking not itself (as a quantity) in this world.
Nnumbers: are sets - they are not more localized in the logical space than in spacetime. They even exist from the perspective of all worlds.
Properties: are sets (of individuals).
Propositions: are sets
Events: are sets.

Schwarz I 232
Ontology/Lewis/(s): all attributed to the distribution of properties instead of objects: "a priori reductionism of everything".
Schwarz I 233
Ontology/explanation/theory/Lewis/Schwarz/(s): Analysis/LewisVsArmstrong: looks for definitions ArmstrongVsLewis: for true-makers - Schwarz: this is the difference between analysis and necessary implication.},
