Different numerical relational structures will correspond to the degrees of non-metrical magnitudes more than those which correspond to the sizes of metrical magnitudes.

If we understand under the concept of quantification a transition from classificational concepts to metrical concepts, or any other procedure by means of which empi

The second alternative is to be preferred to the first one; this follows from our analysis of the concept of a scale with respect to the concepts of measurement and magnitude, as well as from
