Universalizability says that the moral character of an action depends on the action's universal properties. A "universal property" is

    { 1 } - a very simple property.
    { 2 } - a property that applies to all human beings.
    { 3 } - a nonevaluative property expressible without proper names (like Gensler, Chicago, or IBM) or pointer words (like I, this, or now).

The properties that make an act right or wrong could be very complicated.

3 is correct!

You're appealing to universal properties if you say that act A is an act of stealing a new car from one's neighbor, or an act whose agent has blue eyes, or an act that would cause the owner of the car great distress.

You're appealing to non-universal properties if you say that act A is wrong (evaluative term), or an act of stealing Pat's car (proper name), or something that I would be doing (pointer word).
