Quote from ‘On Logical Graphs’

Term: 
Monad
Quote: 

…let a number of the proper designations of individual subjects be omitted, so that the assertion becomes a mere blank form for an assertion which can be reconverted into an assertion by filling all the blanks with proper names. I term such a blank form a rheme. [—] If the number of blanks is one, I term the rheme a monad.
