Subject and Predicates
“A Chu space is a set X of subjects and a set A of predicates on those subjects. These stand in a symbiotic relationship in which the nature of each is determined by the other. Each subject is characterized by the values the predicates take on it, while each predicate is characterized by its values on subjects.”
— Vaughan Pratt, Chu Spaces

It would seem that Pratt and Sambin need to reconcile their similar predicates for the same subject.
