| We have, then, a uniform chain of conceptions stretching from pure being
| to the intuition in general.  Now the three links composing this chain,
| namely, reference to a ground, to a correlate, and to a correspondent
| afford the elements for a complete system of logic.
|
| ...
|
| Abstraction or precision is of two kinds;  by obscuration and by position.
|
| ...
|
| Now, it is clear from what has been said, that the reference to a ground may
| be prescinded by position from the reference to a correlate, and the latter
| in the same way from reference to a correspondent.  Whereas, the reference
| to a correspondent cannot be prescinded by position from reference to
| a correlate, nor this from reference to a ground.  This fact affords
| the basis for a division of 'attributes' into three kinds.  First,
| such as contain only reference to a ground;  or simple 'Qualities'.
| Second, such as contain references to a ground and a correlate
| necessarily connected together;  or real 'Relations'.  Third,
| such as involve references to a ground, a correlate, and
| a correspondent necessarily connected together;
| or 'Representations'.
