. The immobile is either that which is
wholly incapable of being moved, or that which is moved with
difficulty in a long time or begins slowly, or that which is of a
nature to be moved and can be moved but is not moved when and where
and as it would naturally be moved. This alone among immobiles I
describe as being at rest; for rest is contrary to movement, so that
it must be a privation in that which is receptive of movement.
Things which are in one proximate place are together in place, and
things which are in different places are apart: things whose
extremes are together touch: that at which a changing thing, if it
changes continuously according to its nature, naturally arrives before
it arrives at the extreme into which it is changing, is between.
That which is most distant in a straight line is contrary in place.
That is successive which is after the beginning (the order being
determined by position or form or in some other way) and has nothing
of the same class between it and that which it succeeds, e.g. lines in
the case of a line, units in that of a unit, or a house in that of a
house. (There is nothing to prevent a thing of some other class from
being between.) For the successive succeeds something and is something
later; 'one' does not succeed 'two', nor the first day of the month
the second. That which, being successive, touches, is contiguous.
(Since all change is between opposites, and these are either
contraries or contradictories, and there is no middle term for
contradictories, clearly that which is between is between contraries
