Properties/LewisVsPutnam: properties must be something simple. If one follows from another, then that would be a necessary relationship between two simple properties. Putnam: that would be incomprehensible. Wrong solution/Lewis: then properties would have to be interpreted as complexes in turn. LewisVs: properties must be simple - from what should they be composed? PutnamVsLewis: this is not an analytical style - why should something simple not make any relations?

Properties/identity/Putnam: synonymy is necessary for identity of predicates, not properties - temperature is not synonymous with molecular motion.
>Synonymy, >Predicate, >Identity.

Functional Property/Putnam: a functional property (instead of a physical property) for a computer is e.g. to have a program.

Non-functional properties: non-functional properties are e.g. inputs and outputs. Functional Properties: functional properties are defined by cause and effect.
>Cause, >Effect.
I (g) 195
Reference/Lewis: reference is a functional property. N.B.: that should undermine the distinction physical/non-physical. Reference is then a functional property of the organism-plus-environment system. >Reference/Lewis.
