Instances and types are both involved here, Huw.
In fact, any concept has individual, universal and particular moments.

Quick question, Andy. Are you distinguishing instances and classifications?

I can demonstrate a plan by executing it. I can refer to the execution as an example of my plan. But the execution in not a plan.

      “According to Vygotsky, the instrumentally mediated act ‘is the
      simplest segment of behavior that is dealt with by research based on
      elementary units’.”
