2764 | Full coherence might involve consistency and mutual entailment of all propositions [Blanshard, by Dancy,J] |

6230 | If the soul were a tabula rasa, with no innate ideas, there could be no moral goodness or justice [Cudworth] |
6228 | Senses cannot judge one another, so what judges senses cannot be a sense, but must be superior [Cudworth] |
17481 | Nuclear charge (plus laws) explains electron structure and spectrum, but not vice versa [Hendry] |
6229 | Sense is fixed in the material form, and so can't grasp abstract universals [Cudworth] |
6227 | Keeping promises and contracts is an obligation of natural justice [Cudworth] |

17483 | Water continuously changes, with new groupings of molecules [Hendry] |
17476 | Elements survive chemical change, and are tracked to explain direction and properties [Hendry] |
17477 | Defining elements by atomic number allowed atoms of an element to have different masses [Hendry] |
17480 | Generally it is nuclear charge (not nuclear mass) which determines behaviour [Hendry] |
6224 | An omnipotent will cannot make two things equal or alike if they aren't [Cudworth] |
