Is it right to say that a particular can be comprehended using the Porphyrian Tree? Would a particular man, for example, have all the notes of the concept man and all the notes that distinguish that man from any other man? Would then the extension of the that particular man be a single thing? I'm wondering if I am misuing the idea of the Porphyrian tree here.

If this isn't the case, then can we correctly call Socrates a term?
