Universals

Universals are sometimes used synonym to categories in herre4. Three kinds of universals are used in GOL: immanent universals, conceptual structures and symbolic structures. Immanent universals exist in the individuals (in re) and not independent from them. Conceptual structures are how universals are conceived in an agents mind, represented as symbolic structures. There is still some research going on in the GOL-group concerning universals. We will write more about universals in section 5.3.6.
