I 179
Properties/Jackson: physics: properties "do" something. Jackson: but properties are not "causal cum relational". At least some are intrinsic and are merely relational.
>Intrinsicness.
It might be that there are two causally quite similar properties, one of which has an affect at one time and the other at a different time, but we believe to only recognize one. Then we cannot know anything about the intrinsic world.
I, 209
Properties/Esfeld: qualities: relations: e.g. 6cm: is shorter or longer than something else. The description is relational, not the length itself.
>Description, >Relations, >Conventions, >Measurement, >Absoluteness.
I 306
Properties/Aristotle: "first substance": the "first substance" is something from which properties can be expressed, but which is not itself the property of something else-
>Properties/Aristotle.
Quantum Mechanics/Esfeld: Quantum systems are like that.
>Quantum mechanics.
