Section: universals have several divisions.
The book classifies universals according to whether their referents can exist and, where possible, how many are actually found. The commentary organizes the possibilities into six cases.
The meaning of “universal” does not change across these cases. Universality concerns conceptual predicability; the sixfold classification concerns external existence, impossibility and numbers of instances.
