10 months ago Notice that by admitting that intrinsic aspects can inhere in any concrete individuals we allow several absurd scenarios: situations bearing dispositions; events bearing dispositions; a situation that activates its own dispositions and, therefore, events causing themselves, and so on.
InheresIn is ranging over ConcreteIndividual. This means that dispositions can inhere in events and situations, which is probably unintended. In the UFO-B main paper (https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-642-41924-9_27), trope can only inhere in objects (a subtype of endurants). However, a subsequent paper (https://content.iospress.com/articles/applied-ontology/ao190214) says, just like in gUFO, that dispositions can inhere in any concrete individual, which I believe is either a mistake or a design choice due to some desired or undesired inferences.
Indeed, in gUFO, that was a deliberate choice (https://nemo-ufes.github.io/gufo/#IntrinsicAspect): " Different from Guizzardi (2005), here we consider that aspects can inhere in concrete individuals in general, and not only in endurants." Why?
