Abstract: Abstract Consistent Classes of Quantities. An ordered pair whose second member (or value) is a number, while its first member (or object) may be anything, will be referred to as a quantity. By a consistent class of quantities—briefly, c.c.q. —we mean a class of quantities that does not contain two quantities with equal objects and unequal values. Reviving Newton’s term, we will refer to c.c.q.’s also as fluents. The class of all objects (of all values) of the quantities belonging to a fluent is called the domain (the range) of the fluent.
