y is only a proper part of x if there is a z which 'makes up the difference' between them [Yablo]
     Full Idea: The principle of Supplementation says that y is properly part of x, only if a z exists that 'makes up the difference' between them. [note: that is, z is disjoint from y and sums with y to form x]
