Doesn't the real world have even more ways of being interpreted? "Feature" and "property" are very generic terms, I've looked them up in different dictionaries, these are the short defs. (for feature) from different dictionaries, and I have not found a difference of feature and property on that level: Merriam Webster: : an interesting or important part, quality, ability, etc. : a part of the face (such as the eyes, nose, or mouth) : a movie that is made to be shown in a theater for entertainment : a full-length movie Cambridge Dictionary: feature noun (QUALITY) B2 [C] a typical quality or an important part of something: [C] a part of a building or of an area of land: B2 [C usually plural] one of the parts of someone's face that you notice when you look at them: Oxford Dictionary: 1 A distinctive attribute or aspect of something 1.1 (usually features) A part of the face, such as the mouth or eyes, making a significant contribution to its overall appearance ... Basically what I find about "property" is the same (2An attribute, quality, or characteristic of something) Cheers, Martin
