0282 Judgment is the actuality of a perspective-level nested form.  Unlike the drama of Hamlet, the scholastic objective concept is a judgment within the normal context of reason, rather than paranoia and passion.

0283 The normal context of reason_3c brings the actuality of a relation between ‘what is’ and ‘what ought to be’_2c into relation with the potential of intellectual understanding_1c.

0284 The actuality_2c goes with objective concept.  The normal context_3c and potential_1c compose objective precision.

0285 How do the four meanings figure into this model of the scholastic term “objective concept”.

0286 The first meaning (M1) goes like this: A universal may be with respect to causal operations.

0287 The following depicts the ongoing example.

0288 The other three meanings behave similarly.  Each occupies a slot for judgment.

0289 Now, back to universals.

0290 According to Izquierdo, Aristotle follows two definitions of universal.

D1. A universal can exist in the many.

D2. A universal can be predicated in the many.

0291 To me, D1 goes with what is and D2 goes with what ought to be.

0292 Here is how that fits the ongoing model of judgment_2c.

0293 This diagram implies that a third universal exists within the (universal) triadic structure of judgment.  This universal (D0) coincides with the meaning that brings D1 and D2 into relation.

0294 What does this imply?

0295 Universals are important because they participate in judgment_2c.  Judgment_2c is a primal triadic relation occurring within the normal context of reason_3c.  The potential of intellectual understanding_1c underlies judgment_2c.

0296 Judgment_2c is the natural harbor for universals.  In fact, judgment itself is a universal, since all humans share the ability to form judgments that may be diagrammed as a triadic relation.

0297 Aristotle isolated two universals (D1 and D2) and potentiated the discovery of the third (D0).

The third corresponds to the four meanings that Izquierdo assigns to universals.
