Change

What is always becoming and never is cannot be truly known; only the unchanging Forms can.

Motion is the actuality of what is potential, insofar as it is still potential.

All change reduces to the local motion of eternal atoms through the void.

Change belongs to the lower hypostases; the One is utterly immutable, and all becoming is procession from and return to it.

Change is the reduction of potency to act, but creation itself is not a change, for it presupposes no subject.

Motion is simply the transfer of a body from one place to another; no potency, no act, no mystery.

A body in motion continues in motion; change of motion requires an impressed force.

We observe succession and constant conjunction; we never observe the power by which one change produces another.

Change is a succession of determinations of a substance that itself persists, a rule the mind imposes to make experience possible.

Becoming is the first concrete truth of being; reality itself is dialectical movement.
