    Part of a larger discussion

    Supports→The absolute terms of Aristotelian proportionality do not apply to violent motion.

    In violent motion, the external mover supplants the body's natural tendency, dissolving the internal resistance that grounds proportional calculation.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.External forces (like projectile motion) do override intrinsic properties, creating qualitatively different motion than bodies naturally exhibit.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.When external movers dominate, bodies lose their characteristic restraint, making proportional ratios between force and resistance unmeasurable.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Internal resistance derives from a body's nature; violent displacement suspends this nature, thereby suspending the basis for calculating proportions.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Even in violent motion, internal properties (mass, density, friction) remain operative and measurable, not dissolved by external force application.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.Proportional calculation works precisely in violent motion (ballistics, mechanics), suggesting internal resistance grounds ratios even under external dominance.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Natural and violent motion differ in cause, not in the body's capacity to sustain measurable resistance ratios inherent to its constitution.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
