If these [cognitions] were truly concomitant with universals, then since universals are always present, why would [the cognitions] not occur at all times? For the universal has no dependency [on anything else], since others cannot create any special properties in it. Therefore there is no positive concomitance of these [cognitions] with that [universal].
