-Being a human exists in virtue of individuals existing.
-Example 1: The form of a chair exists and depends on its particulars, i.e., the existence of an actual instance of a chair. Thus the form of the chair is real, it exists and '''''it is in the object''''' or imminent; it is present in the object. See [[Immanent Realism]].
-Example 2: There is an animal. This statement is true because there is Socrates, and Socrates is an animal.
-In other words we are able to make the claim that there is an animal because we can make the first claim, there is Socrates!
