Since Wittgenstein did not adopt this expedient, it seems likely that he would have regarded the predicate "x is a complex consisting of a and b, combined so that aRb" as meaningless in virtue of — among other things — its containing ineliminable occurrences of the pseudo-concepts "complex," "combination," and "constitution".
We show that the collective P manifests itself in different "states" or fuzzy sets, where knowledge and representation depend on the available information regarding the use of the predicate P in X.

For example, to derive a subquery's cardinality prior to query execution, a query optimizer must take several assumptions regarding the distribution of the base data (e.g., data uniformity assumption) and the query predicates (e.g., predicate independence assumption).
Current theories regarding the connections and feedbacks between surface and tectonic processes are predicated on the assumption that higher rainfall causes more rapid erosion.
The Newman objection does not go through if mixed predicates are not Ramsified, because a model of the Ramsey sentence will not necessarily be one in which what is claimed regarding the mixed properties and relations holds.
Suppose furthermore that A and B regard the collection of predicates for which mathematical induction is permissible as open-ended, and are both willing to accept the other's induction scheme as true.
Italos, too, regards the genera before the particulars as the causes and paradigms of perceptible individuals, which are not predicates, are separate from them, and exist in God's mind, perfectly accommodating in this way the requirements of Christian dogma.
I demonstrate that a bare semantics for such predicates, taking English deverbal psych adjectives as exemplary, makes no such commitments, and argue that we instead should make sense of differences in truth judgments regarding such predicates as rooted in metasemantic variation among the speaker population as to which properties such predicates denote.
Confronted with any pair of items in a series with regard to which the predicate in question is soritical, the predicate is always interpreted in such a way as to not distinguish between them.
His "no" points to the fact that the way the monk formulates his question regarding being is predicated on an either-or logical understanding or an affirmation-negation linguistic device.
