Noun[edit]
implexion (countable and uncountable, plural implexions)
- (philosophy) A relation between incomplete and complete objects which seems to be very close to what is often called “instantiation”, i.e., a relation between universals and particulars. Incomplete objects are “implected” in complete ones.
