9. Objects / A. Existence of Objects / 1. Physical Objects

23772	If objects are property bundles, the properties need combining powers [Williams,NE]
	Full Idea: If objects are bundles of properties …they must be robust enough to enter into building relations with one another such that they can form objects.
	From: Neil E. Williams (The Powers Metaphysics [2019], 01.5)
	A reaction: A very nice point. The Humean bundle view of objects just seems to take properties to be 'impressions' or verbal predicates, but they must have causal powers to be a grounding for ontology.
