magnitude

   Book, Paragraph
1 I, 1 | see in it the changes of magnitude called "growth" and "diminution". 2 I, 2 | indivisible magnitudes? Or is no magnitude indivisible?" For the answer 3 I, 2 | suppose that a body (i.e. a magnitude) is divisible through and 4 I, 2 | What, then, will remain? A magnitude? No: that is impossible, 5 I, 2 | that neither a body nor a magnitude will remain, and yet division 6 I, 2 | be points (i.e. without magnitude) or absolutely nothing. 7 I, 2 | it will not possess any magnitude. For when the points were 8 I, 2 | coincided to form a single magnitude, they did not make the whole 9 I, 2 | they will not make any magnitude.~But suppose that, as the 10 I, 2 | body "comes away" from the magnitude, evading the division. Even 11 I, 2 | form or quality, and if the magnitude is "points or contacts thus 12 I, 2 | it is paradoxical that a magnitude should consist of elements, 13 I, 2 | however, it is admitted that a magnitude is "divisible through and 14 I, 2 | the admission, that the magnitude must be divided away into 15 I, 2 | only in one sense that the magnitude is "divisible through and 16 I, 5 | change in the sphere of magnitude is growth and one in the 17 I, 5 | is-potentially to what is-actually magnitude and quality respectively? 18 I, 5 | diminishing is believed to be magnitude. Are we to suppose that 19 I, 5 | to suppose that body and magnitude come-to-be out of something 20 I, 5 | which, though potentially magnitude and body, is actually incorporeal 21 I, 5 | incorporeal and devoid of magnitude? And since this description 22 I, 5 | matter is also the matter of magnitude and quality-being separable 23 I, 5 | which, though potentially a magnitude, actually possesses no magnitude. 24 I, 5 | magnitude, actually possesses no magnitude. For, if it were, the "void" 25 I, 5 | diminution is a lessening, of the magnitude which is there already-that, 26 I, 5 | thing must possess some magnitude. Hence growth must not be 27 I, 5 | process from a matter without magnitude to an actuality of magnitude: 28 I, 5 | magnitude to an actuality of magnitude: for this would be a body' 29 I, 5 | impossible for a matter of magnitude to exist "separate". If, 30 I, 5 | every part of the growing magnitude is made bigger (e.g. if 31 II, 10| in which"; for that has "magnitude" in a sense.) But (d) amongst
