The imagination:
A. Definitions are contextual in a sense. What I mean by lion only holds in this moment with an agreed upon meaning in this language.
B. How do I understand definitions or universals? They cannot be visualized (draw the universal or essence "man" - there are many ways to draw it), yet they can be defined.

So we end up at this oddity.
