218. As for the statement that these ascending and descending degrees, which we call also prior and subsequent, or degrees of height and discrete degrees, exist in their power in their last degree, this can be confirmed by all those examples which we presented as confirmations from observable and discernible phenomena in the preceding discussions. Here, however, we wish to confirm it by citing only instances of endeavor, force and motion in inanimate entities and in animate ones. People know that endeavor accomplishes nothing by itself, but only through forces corresponding to it, and that through these it produces motion. People also know that for that reason endeavor is everything in the forces, and through the forces, in the motion; and that because motion is the final degree of endeavor, it is through motion that endeavor exerts its power. Endeavor, force and motion operate in conjunction only in accordance with discrete degrees, which are conjoined not through a continuous connection of them, since they are discrete, but through correspondences. For endeavor is not force, and force is not motion. Rather force is produced by endeavor-force being endeavor awakened-and motion is produced by force. Consequently no power exists in endeavor alone, nor in force alone, but in motion, which is their product. The reality of this appears as yet questionable, because it has not been illustrated by applications to observable and discernible phenomena in nature. Nevertheless, it is still how they progress into a state of power.
