. And therefore it is hard to
grasp what movement is; for it must be classed either under
privation or under potency or under absolute actuality, but
evidently none of these is possible. Therefore what remains is that it
must be what we said-both actuality and the actuality we have
described-which is hard to detect but capable of existing.
And evidently movement is in the movable; for it is the complete
realization of this by that which is capable of causing movement.
And the actuality of that which is capable of causing movement is no
other than that of the movable. For it must be the complete reality of
both. For while a thing is capable of causing movement because it
can do this, it is a mover because it is active; but it is on the
movable that it is capable of acting, so that the actuality of both is
one, just as there is the same interval from one to two as from two to
one, and as the steep ascent and the steep descent are one, but the
being of them is not one; the case of the mover and the moved is
similar.

The infinite is either that which is incapable of being
traversed because it is not its nature to be traversed (this
corresponds to the sense in which the voice is 'invisible'), or that
which admits only of incomplete traverse or scarcely admits of
traverse, or that which, though it naturally admits of traverse, is
not traversed or limited; further, a thing may be infinite in
respect of addition or of subtraction, or both
