Re: Vaughan Pratt @ http://www.cs.nyu.edu/pipermail/fom/2010-April/014692.html I'm sure it's obvious that I cast my "numeralist" in the mold of the "nominalist", one who says things like "only individuals are real" and "generals are mere names". But a moment's reflection on the issue of tokens conforming to types should suffice to make us suspect some counterfeit of reason here, for how can we communicate about even so much as the single letter "I" without forming a general type sufficient to cover "individual" tokens of that Form making their appearance through indefinite multitudes of media?
