Prototypes. Prototypes are the basic cognitive representations of objects. They may be indivisible or divisible. Indivisible prototypes represent mind-internal objects, including sensations, emotions, and mental constructs. Divisible prototypes represent mind-external objects and may be individuated through the filtering processes of quantification, which distinguish mass and countable prototypes. Countable prototypes are construed as plural.

Certain prototypes are feminine, as indicated by suffixes on qualitative words and verbs that pertain to the prototypes.
