Subsets (kinds)	res extensa, modus cogitandi
Occurrence	[geomap] Preoccurs from {1p28}

{1p28 nisi alia causa finita}

... Every individual thing, or everything which is finite and has a conditioned existence, cannot exist or be conditioned to act, unless it be conditioned for existence and action by a cause other than itself, which also is finite, and has a conditioned existence; and likewise this cause cannot in its turn exist, or be conditioned to act, unless it be conditioned for existence and action by another cause, which also is finite, and has a conditioned existence, and so on to infinity.

... Quodcunque singulare sive [mng eqv] quaevis res quae finita est et determinatam habet existentiam, non potest existere nec ad operandum determinari nisi ad existendum et operandum determinetur ab alia causa quae etiam finita est et determinatam habet existentiam et rursus haec causa non potest etiam existere neque ad operandum determinari nisi ab alia quae etiam finita est et determinatam habet existentiam, determinetur ad existendum et operandum et sic in infinitum.

{2d07 (res) singularis, particularis}
... By particular things, I mean things which are finite and have a conditioned existence; but if several individual things concur in one action, so as to be all simultaneously the effect of one cause, I consider them all, so far, as one particular thing.	... Per res singulares intelligo res quae finitae sunt et determinatam habent existentiam. Quod si plura individua in una actione ita concurrant ut omnia simul unius effectus sint causa, eadem omnia eatenus ut unam rem singularem considero.

{2a1.5 sentimus corpora cogitandi modos}                         ...A res singularis may be a modus of the extensio-atrribute, or of the cogitatio-attribute...
....We feel and perceive no particular things, save bodies and modes of thought.....	....Nullas res singulares praeter corpora et cogitandi modos sentimus nec percipimus. .....
