determinates
Settled, defined things
Determinates are things that have been fixed, settled, or precisely defined.
The word functions as the plural of determinate, which describes something with definite limits or boundaries—the opposite of vague or open-ended.
In philosophy, determinates are specific instances within a broader category: Red and blue are determinates of the determinable "color".
