		Although there is metaphysical structure to the fact that, e.g., this horse is white (a certain quality inheres in a certain substance), the fact that this is a horse is a kind of brute fact, devoid of metaphysical structure.
		In the conceptual framework of Metaphysics Ζ, a universal such as man or horse — which was called a species and a secondary substance in the Categories — is construed as “not a substance, but a compound of a certain formula and a certain matter, taken universally” (Z.10, 1035b29-30).

		Again (12) we ask whether the principles are universal or like individual things, and (13) whether they exist potentially or actually, and further, whether they are potential or actual in any other sense than in reference to movement; for these questions also would present much difficulty.
		For if the universals are always more of the nature of principles, evidently the uppermost of the genera are the principles; for these are predicated of all things.
		Therefore if there is to be results follow; if they are not universals but of knowledge of the principles there must be the nature of individuals, they will not be other principles prior to them, namely those knowable; for the knowledge of anything is that are universally predicated of them.

		These mathematical physicists were thus quite unable to dispense with such metaphysical principles, and amongst them, not even with that which makes the conception of their own special subject, namely, matter, available à priori, in its application to external experience (as the conception of motion, of the filling of space, of inertia, etc.).
		And thus a separate metaphysics of corporeal nature does excellent and indispensable service to the universal [metaphysics], in that it procures instances (cases in concreto) in which to realise the conceptions and doctrines of the latter (properly the transcendental philosophy), that is, to give to a mere form of thought sense and meaning.
		The effect of the universal attraction, which all matter exercises directly upon all [matter] and at all distances, is termed gravitation; the endeavour to move itself in the direction of the greater gravitation is weight.

	Metaphysics: The Universal Solvent
		Furthermore, since solutions exist by virtue of their problems, there is no universal solution, no immutable rule which can be applied to every problem; there may be as many problems and as many solutions as there are observers.
		Each observer uses his or her concept of the universe both as a basis for the judgement and as the source of the solution, for only those solutions which are consistent with that universe will be acceptable to the observer.
		Using this approach, a person may be described (within the context of the cultural bias which uses the ancient Elements) by the region of this space which his or her essence encompasses.
