9. Objects / C. Structure of Objects / 8. Parts of Objects / a. Parts of objects

18998	Parthood lacks the restriction of kind which most relations have [Yablo]
	Full Idea: Most relations obtain only between certain kinds of thing. To learn that x is a part of y, however, tells you nothing about x and y taken individually.
	From: Stephen Yablo (Aboutness [2014], 03.2)
	A reaction: Too sweeping. To be a part of crowd you have to be a person. To be part of the sea you have to be wet. It might depend on whether composition is unrestricted.
