Years ago, in a sustained process intended to generalize the process of category formation into a minimum set of constructive elements, process seemed to settle on the concept of "dimension" as a fundamental building block for defining categories ad boundaries.
Categories were formed by intersections of dimensions, creating an envelop of boundary values within which resided some defined object.
The concept of dimension became generalized so as to include broader and more composite/holistic descriptive elements, including
- Property
- Quality
- Aspect
- Characteristic
- Feature
- Attribute
See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Property_(philosophy)
and consider the notion of "redness" as a property of an object
I would rule that out as a property -- and instead say that the object is "red" -- and then define red as a bounded range in a spectrum
