Disagree. Entity subsumes Object and Concept. See [1]. (02)
Concepts are abstract entities in the referenced paper. Objects are
concrete. Concept and Object are complements: their extents are
disjoint. (03)
Returning to the subject of earlier threads, Abstract Objects have no
extent: they do not exist. (04)
