This system of natural philosophy is an attempt for an intelligible understanding of the world that surrounds us. What changes and what remains the same when observing the world that is around us? Is the world chaotic? Is it consistent? If so, why is it inadaptable? How can one answer these questions with a simple response? Well, quite frankly one can not; but through this system of theory one can develop an understanding of our physical world.
With the question, what changes and what remains the same when observing the world around us, one can start off small by observing different properties of the universe such as the properties of bodies. By letting one have a proper understanding of this system of philosophy I must first be very thorough with what I believe stays the same or changes throughout the universe.
My explanation of this is very Aristotle-like because to a large degree I agree with his theories about the universe, but bear with me here, my understanding and explanation of the different properties and bodies of the universe connect with my own theory. Now, any kind of substance in the universe in which we gain a sense of knowledge such as air, water, wind, and earth in their adjustments are called bodies. There are certain property modifications within each body (one form of change within the universe). One thing that remains the same though is that two bodies cannot inhabit the same space at the same time, for example: if a heavy object, anything heavier than water such as a rock, be dropped into a glass of water then the quantity of water that was in the glass in the first place will overflow and spill just equal to the size of the rock that was dropped into the glass. Now the extension of a property also distributes to the changing or perpetual physical world. With the term extension I mean, everything living or not, however large or small, has a length, width, and height because no substance on earth can exist without them or it would be...
