It is asked whether it is the act of that which exists in actuality or in potentiality original: "actus... in potentia". Aristotle defined motion as the actuality of a potential being as such.	298
It is asked whether violent rest is the act of that which exists in potentiality	298
It is asked what it is to be "at the same time" original: "simul esse". This refers to the concept of simultaneity in time or space.	299
It is asked which things are touching: it is asked what touch is
mathematical [touch]	300
It is asked what this act is and how it differs from natural touch	301
It is asked concerning things that touch: touching things are those whose extremities are together original: "tangentia sunt quorum ultima sunt simul". This is Aristotle’s definition of contact in Physics Book 5.	302
It is asked whether the transition from one extreme to another occurs through some medium	302
It is asked what makes motion one according to genus original: "in genere". A genus is a broad category, such as "change of place" or "change of quality."	303
It is asked what is the cause of the unity of motion according to species original: "secundum speciem". Species refers to a specific type within a genus, like "walking" or "whitening."	305
It is asked whether the unity of the end-point and the space is sufficient for there to be a single motion in species	305
It is asked what is the cause of the unity of motion according to number original: "secundum numerum". This refers to numerical identity, asking if a motion is literally the same individual event.	306
It is asked whether health acquired through different motions is the same according to number	308
It is asked whether health in the same subject in the evening and the morning is the same	309
It is asked whether regular motion is more unified than irregular motion	309
It is asked whether circular motion is more unified than straight motion	310
It is asked whether motion has a contrary: it is asked whether one motion is contrary to another motion	311
It is asked whether natural downward motion is contrary to natural upward motion	312
It is asked whether violent motion is contrary to natural motion	313
It is asked whether natural rest is opposed to motion	314
It is asked whether violent rest after motion is opposed to motion	314
It is asked whether rest before motion is opposed to motion	314
It is asked concerning the contrariety between different states of rest	315
It is asked which rest is opposed to which rest, and whether natural rest is opposed to natural rest	315
It is asked concerning alterations, whether they are opposed as contraries original: "immutationibus". This refers to qualitative changes.	316
