I think one could say that it indicates the *manner* in which
an argument fills a place. It is not a property of a sumti
when not filling a place nor of a place when not being filled
by a sumti.
Another interesting system, similar to bunches but different in
one respect, is the system of kinds. Kinds, with the relation
"subkind" for "in", share all the same thesis as bunches except
for this one: "Every bunch breaks down completely into individuals".
For kinds, it is not the case that every kind breaks down completely
into ultimate kinds, where an ultimate kind is a kind that has only
itself as a subkind, i.e. the equivalent of "individual" for bunches.
