(May 1, 2017 at 6:45 pm)TheMuslim Wrote: Usually when we talk about relations and links, it involves three things: two objects that are linked, and the link between them. However, is there anything inherently implausible or contradictory about there being nothing in a universe except for an object and a link to it? In other words, can there be just a link and an object to which the link is attached?

Links and relations are, by definition, connections between two things. But why can't one of those two things be the link or relation itself?
 Yes, it is possible, except that the relationship is one way. 
It is called  objectophilia, see  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Object_sexuality 

A couple of things to google that may relate to your question: Tamagotchi & Cabbage patch kids.
