Incapacity is privation of capacity-i.e. of such a principle as has been described either in general or in the case of something that would naturally have the capacity, or even at the time when it would naturally already have it; for the senses in which we should call a boy and a man and a eunuch ‘incapable of begetting’ are distinct.-Again,Connor McDavid Tröjor, to either kind of capacity there is an opposite incapacity-both to that which only can produce movement and to that which can produce it well.
Some things,Dan Girardi Tröjor, then, are called adunata in virtue of this kind of incapacity,Roman Josi Tröjor, while others are so in another sense; i.e. both dunaton and adunaton are used as follows. The impossible is that of which the contrary is of necessity true, e.g. that the diagonal of a square is commensurate with the side is impossible, because such a statement is a falsity of which the contrary is not only true but also necessary; that it is commensurate,Semyon Varlamov Tröjor, then, is not only false but also of necessity false. The contrary of this,Buty Jordan Retro 10, the possible,NHL Mens Chicago Blackhawks Red Hoodie, is found when it is not necessary that the contrary is false, e.g. that a man should be seated is possible; for that he is not seated is not of necessity false. The possible, then, in one sense, as has been said, means that which is not of necessity false; in one, that which is true; in one, that which may be true.-A ‘potency’ or ‘power’ in geometry is so called by a change of meaning.-These senses of ‘capable’ or ‘possible’ involve no reference to potency. But the senses which involve a reference to potency all refer to the primary kind of potency; and this is a source of change in another thing or in the same thing qua other. For other things are called ‘capable’, some because something else has such a potency over them,Justin Braun Tröjor, some because it has not, some because it has it in a particular way. The same is true of the things that are incapable. Therefore the proper definition of the primary kind of potency will be ‘a source of change in another thing or in the same thing qua other’.
Book V Chapter 13
‘Quantum’ means that which is divisible into two or more constituent parts of which each is by nature a ‘one’ and a ‘this’. A quantum is a plurality if it is numerable, a magnitude if it is a measurable. ‘Plurality’ means that which is divisible potentially into non-continuous parts, ‘magnitude’ that which is divisible into continuous parts; of magnitude, that which is continuous in one dimension is length; in two breadth,Brent Burns Tröjor, in three depth. Of these, limited plurality is number, limited length is a line,Moncler Menn Vest, breadth a surface, depth a solid.
Again, some things are called quanta in virtue of their own nature,PJS Dameklær Deniela Vest, others incidentally; e.g. the line is a quantum by its own nature, the musical is one incidentally. Of the things that are quanta by their own nature some are so as substances,Vladimir Konstantinov Tröjor, e.g. the line is a quantum (for ‘a certain kind of quantum’ is present in the definition which states what it is),New York Rangers Tröjor, and others are modifications and states of this kind of substance, e.g. much and littl
