Standing in the record
Registered on 2026-09-29 at the owner’s request, because the owner’s prior-art novelty map (a private working
document on concepts as projectors, the linear representation hypothesis and their neighbours) cites it: row 11: the immanent/in-rebus realism neighbour against which Nominal Compatibilism is to be situated.
It is seeded from metadata and published descriptions and has not been read here.
Only the year of first publication is known; published: uses 1 January.
The map names this reference only loosely; this entry is one reasonable reading of it, and the choice is the owner’s to revise.
Identification notes: Map says only ‘Armstrong (immanent universals)’. Proposed: the 1978 two-volume work (canonical statement). No DOI found for the 1978 CUP volumes; URL is the Internet Archive record of the 2-vol set (ISBNs 0521217415, 0521219507). Filed as one entry for the set; split into Vol. I / Vol. II if the owner prefers (Vol. II is the positive immanent-universals theory). Alternatives not registered: ‘Universals: An Opinionated Introduction’ (Westview 1989); ‘A World of States of Affairs’ (CUP 1997, doi 10.1017/CBO9780511583308).
A close reading was attempted on 2026-09-29. No legitimate full text could be reached: Checked first: the private converted-text cache (no file, no manifest entry). The seed URL archive.org/details/universalsscient0000arms is in the ‘printdisabled’/‘internetarchivebooks’ collections with access-restricted-item=true, so it is controlled lending only and does not count. Internet Archive advanced search found no other copy of the 1978 CUP volumes. There is no DOI and no publisher open access. No legitimate full text was found. It stays Unavailable until a copy is supplied, not on merit.
