10. Modality / A. Necessity / 1. Types of Modality

10709	Priority is a modality, arising from collections and members [Potter]
	Full Idea: We must conclude that priority is a modality distinct from that of time or necessity, a modality arising in some way out of the manner in which a collection is constituted from its members.
	From: Michael Potter (Set Theory and Its Philosophy [2004], 03.3)
	A reaction: He is referring to the 'iterative' view of sets, and cites Aristotle 'Metaphysics' 1019a1-4 as background.
