Comprehension (logic)(logic, wiki, imported, Proteus)
In
logic, the
comprehension of an object is the totality of
intensions, that is, attributes, characters, marks, properties, or qualities, that the object possesses, or else the totality of intensions that are pertinent to the context of a given discussion. This is the correct technical term for the whole collection of intensions of an object, but it is common in less technical usage to see
intension used for both the composite and the primitive ideas.
