In general, requests for the inherent properties are misplaced ('inherent properties' sometimes also thought of as the intrinsic properties, essential properties, or defining properties). Very few properties are inherent, and none of these are complex. Things related to meaning (see below), use, role, learning, behaviour, culture, and the like, are complex properties, and are observable only as a consequence of the interaction of a thing with its environment. There are no inherent properties of a teacher - what matters is only that people can learn from such a person.
