Property: what can be ascribed to an object in order to distinguish it from other objects. In philosophy, there is debate about whether properties exist or whether "bare particulars" exist. Expressions for properties are predicates. Not every predicate will refer to a property. See also quantification over properties, 2nd order logic, HOL, completeness.

Properties/some authors: sure not all property are relational like "being remote" - but could they not be time-relational, ignoring this constant dependency? (Haslanger 1989(1): 123f, Jackson 1994b(2), 142f, van Inwagen 1990a(3), 116).
