<p>I propose to use the term "universe" to denote that class of individuals ''about'' which alone the whole discourse is understood to run.  The universe, therefore, in this sense, as in Mr.&nbsp;De&nbsp;Morgan's, is different on different occasions.  In this sense, moreover, discourse may run upon something which is not a subjective part of the universe;  for instance, upon the qualities or collections of the individuals it contains.</p>

<p>I propose to assign to all logical terms, numbers;  to an absolute term, the number of individuals it denotes;  to a relative term, the average number of things so related to one individual.  Thus in a universe of perfect men (''men''), the number of "tooth of" would be 32.  The number of a relative with two correlates would be the average number of things so related to a pair of individuals;  and so on for relatives of higher numbers of correlates.  I propose to denote the number of a logical term by enclosing the term in square brackets, thus <nowiki>[</nowiki>''t''<nowiki>]</nowiki>.  (Peirce, CP 3.65).</p>
