Sometimes we feel that the better way to delineate what something looks like is by describing what it is not. Due to limitations of space, I shall use this strategy here in order to provide a (even broad) characterization of what I mean by non-individuals. Thus this section on individuals is wide than the next one, where I sketch the notion of non-individuals properly.
