Primes¶
- Abstraction
- Detail lost to abstraction does not come back from the abstraction alone.
This sourceTreats abstraction (aphairesis) as 'taking away' — abstracting the quantitative aspects of sensible substances from their accidental sensible properties to yield mathematical objects.

- Essentialism
- Aristotle's Categories and Metaphysics foundational (Categories substance/accident distinction , Metaphysics Z on essence
- Aristotle's Categories and Metaphysics foundational (Categories substance/accident distinction , Metaphysics Z on essence
This sourceDevelops the doctrine of essence (to ti en einai / ousia): substance, essence and form, with essence as 'the what it was to be' of a thing.
- Infinite Regress
- - Philosophy / Religion. Aristotle's regress argument for the unmoved mover ,
This sourceDiscusses abstraction (aphairesis) as the operation by which mathematical objects are abstracted from sensible particulars — stripping away physical properties to retain only quantitative structure. Establishes abstraction in mathematical thought as a philosophical principle.

- Transformation
- … alters the form according to a rule, and produces something genuinely different (even if the underlying substance or symmetry remains invariant), echoing Aristotle's (c. 350 BCE) distinction in the Metaphysics between change of substance (genuine transformation) and mere change of accident or perspective.

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.
Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 6 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
