8. Modes of Existence / A. Relations / 1. Nature of Relations

13683	A relation is a feature of multiple objects taken together [Sider]
	Full Idea: A relation is just a feature of multiple objects taken together.
	From: Theodore Sider (Logic for Philosophy [2010], 1.8)
	A reaction: Appealingly simple, especially for a logician, who can then just list the relevant objects as members of a set, and the job is done. But if everyone to the left of me is also taller than me, this won't quite do.

8. Modes of Existence / A. Relations / 3. Structural Relations

14502	Plato's idea of 'structure' tends to be mathematically expressed [Plato, by Koslicki]
	Full Idea: 'Structure' tends to be characterized by Plato as something that is mathematically expressed.
	From: report of Plato (works [c.375 BCE]) by Kathrin Koslicki - The Structure of Objects V.3 iv
	A reaction: [Koslicki is drawing on Verity Harte here]
