Full Idea
I favour the old idea of substratum: the haver of properties not itself had as a property. Space-time might itself be the bearer of properties, not itself borne as a property.
Gist of Idea
I favour the idea of a substratum for properties; spacetime seems to be just a bearer of properties

A Reaction
A very nice idea. The choice is between saying either that fundamentals like space-time and physical fields are the propertyless bearers of properties, or that they purely consist of properties (so properties are fundamental, not substrata).
