Abstract
It has been argued above that it is essential for a universal the nomological relations into which they enter. Even more, it has been argued that there is just a unique nomic network of necessary existence. Nevertheless, some have maintained that the conditions of identity for universals that result from these ideas are incoherent. It is explained here that this problem of incoherence can be dealt with, but assuming that the nomic structure is ontologically prior to the universals that enter in it. Universals are nodes in this unique necessary nomic structure.
