Object

In everyday life we can learn which properties 'constitute' an object $o \in OBJ$ . This is done by properties $p \in PROP$ which can be distinguished one from another. Other words for 'property' can be 'quality', 'attribute', 'feature'. We assume that basic (or 'elementary') phenomena $Ph_{0}$ are formed by sets of properties. Thus objects illustrate a strategy of the consciousness to 'structure' the set of phenomena in some way. Objects are still phenomena. In a certain sense one can then talk of the object relation because the fact that certain properties occur always in a certain association is the same as when we would say that the participating properties occur in this special object relation $o_{i}$ .

$\displaystyle o$	$\displaystyle \in$	$\displaystyle OBJ$	(6.16)
$\displaystyle p$	$\displaystyle \in$	$\displaystyle PROP$	(6.17)
$\displaystyle Ph_{0}$	$\displaystyle \subseteq$	$\displaystyle 2^{PROP}$	(6.18)
$\displaystyle Ph^{0}$	$\displaystyle \subseteq$	$\displaystyle Ph$	(6.19)
$\displaystyle o$	$\displaystyle \in$	$\displaystyle 2^{Ph}$	(6.20)
$\displaystyle \langle p_{i},...\rangle$	$\displaystyle \in$	$\displaystyle o_{i}$	(6.21)
