Abstract nominalism
The human disposition inclined to assemble objects or ideas into categories is exacerbated in the manufactured urban environment. Ambulating around the city offers awareness into the fundamental structure of reality, at least in terms of universals and particulars as appearance modalities.
“The myth of physical objects is epistemologically superior to most in that it has proved more efficacious than other myths as a device for working a manageable structure into the flux of experience.” – Willard Van Orman Quine
