It began with a substance/accident division of reality. A substance has real existence. An accident participates in and modifies the existence of the substance. Quality and quantity were the first two accidents in a list of seven or eight. This information was called subject/object metaphysics. Thing, one, true, good, were transcendentals in that they could be said of everything existing.
