uninstantiated

The essence of van Fraassen's objection here is that the difference between mathematical (uninstantiated/abstract) structure, and physical (instantiated/concrete) structure cannot itself be explained in purely structural terms.

Structural Realism Ladyman, James 2009

The difference between (2) and (1) is akin to the difference between Platonism about properties (embraces uninstantiated properties) and Aristotelianism about properties (rejects uninstantiated properties).

And in a final act of insanity that which, by its nature is not, the uninstantiated and uninstantiable class-as-pure-form is claimed to be existential.

But the possibility that a concept be uninstantiated is accommodated by the second disjunct on the right-hand side of (9).

Plural Quantification Linnebo, Øystein 2008

Modal Fictionalism Nolan, Daniel 2007

A trope is neither a bare particular nor an uninstantiated property.

Divine Simplicity Vallicella, William F. 2006

The number of uninstantiated determinate disjuncts involved by many other determinables such as alloyed with more than one gram but less than a metric ton of gold is certainly huge.

Determinates vs. Determinables Sanford, David H. 2006

Regarding a determinable such as between 50 and 100 milliseconds as equivalent to an infinite disjunction of determinates might allow uninstantiated properties into the ontology.
