 It was noted above that for the Mohists our capacity to correlate objects in various ways is exercised when we name particular objects and then apply these names to all objects that are analogous to them. We correlate objects consistently in virtue of a model fa (“that in being like which something is so”) (A70), and we identify a class from this model by ascertaining the resemblance relation between it and other objects. Indeed, according to Graham, by identifying an object as a “horse” based on its resemblance with the standard for horses, we are in effect treating the name ma (“horse”)
