Connective/Relation/Strawson:
a) stating connective: (s) is a...
b) stated connective: is in relation to..., is an example of...
Double-digit expressions are not designations of relations themselves!
>
Relation.
Predicable relations between things not relations themselves.
I 215
a) Species universals: provides classification principle, does not presuppose one - E.g. generic name.
b) characterizing universals (ch. u.): e.g. verbs, adjectives: provide class.
principle only for previously sorted particulars.
But also particulars themselves provide the principle of summary: e.g. Socrates as well as wisdom. ->
attributive tie: (non-relational connection between particulars of various types).
I 216
Example of the characterizing tie between Socrates and the universal dying corresponds to the attributive tie between Socrates and his death.
I 216
1) Species or Sample tie/Strawson: a) Fido is a dog, an animal, a terrier - b) Fido, Coco and Rover are dogs.
2) characterizing tie: e.g. Socrates is wise, is lively, argues - b) Socrates, Plato, Aristotle are all wise, all of them die.
3) attributive tie: grouping of particulars because of the characterizing tie. E.g. smiling, praying.
Each is a symmetrical form: x is a characterizing tie to y - asymmetrical: x is characterized by y. - Then y dependent member.
I 219
Categorical criterion of the subject-predicate distinction: x is asserted to be bound non-relationallly to y i.e. universals of particulars can be predicted, but not by particulars of universals.
But even universals can be predicated by universals.

New/Strawson: distinction between object types instead of word types.
I 227f
Connective/Bond/Strawson: Special case: between particulars: e.g. the catch which eliminated Compton was made by Carr.
Solution: regard is carried out, etc. as quasi-universal.
Only quasi-universal: because action and execution of the action are not different.
I 229
Nevertheless: a simplification like Compton was eliminated by Carr has a different weighting.
Point: we have transferred the role of the subject of a predication to theobjects.
>
Predication.
This is a new criterion as a bridge between the two others.
