- 2. generic term for whatever is the bearer of a proper name, or whatever can be referred to or designated, approximately identical with “thing.” (p.482, 'object', in The Blackwell Dictionary of Western Philosophy 2004)
- 3. [BFO2.0] A material entity that is (1) spatially extended in three dimensions; (2) causally unified; and (3) maximally self-connected. Examples include a single cell, a laptop, an organism, a planet, a spaceship. ([ Smith et al., 2015 ])
