And of course this sounds exactly like what Aquinas describes as the violent operation of an external principle.
With respect to this kind of group, von Hildebrand stresses an external principle of constitution, i.e., what he calls the unifying force (virtus unitiva) that values can exert over individuals.
New forms, emerging structures and processes can be accounted for without having to rely on any novel or external principle (Danchin, 2003), and this can be the starting point for new families of experiments.
These culminated in the antirationalist individualism of the famed scholar-statesman Wang Yangming, who denied the external "principles" of Zhu Xi and advocated striving for wisdom through cultivation of the innate knowledge of one's own mind and attainment of "the unity of knowledge and action".
Natures as inner principles of change and rest are contrasted with active powers or potentialities (dunameis), which are external principles of change and being at rest (Metaphysics 9.8, 1049b5 10), operative on the corresponding internal passive capacities or potentialities (dunameis again, Metaphysics 9.1, 1046a11 13).
And, using information as an authentic category of Nature (alongside matter, energy, space and time), this is achieved without resorting to any principle other than those on which physics is based – a point of no small importance at a time when, curiously, some people wish to regress to an age when humans desperately needed to believe in external principles, to accept their life on Earth.
To deal with the difficulty of explaining how atomistic seeds derived from the male and female could be formed into the complexity of the embryo without the intervention of an external organizing principle, or a simple unfolding of a preformed primordia, Maupertuis drew upon Newtonian attraction between corresponding particles as an explanatory principle.
The optimal external scripting level principle (Principle 7) states that an external script that provides scaffolds for subordinate internal script components that are already available should be less efficient than one that directly targets higher level internal script components because of the additional need to process unnecessary information.
In principle, external and internal sources can be separated from vector observations on a sphere.
The handling of the large scale external fields in principle distinguishes between firstly, a magnetospheric field model in the solar magnetic system of coordinates (SM) varying slowly in time and, secondly, a fast varying external field model, combined with its induced counterpart.
A further implication of the optimal external scripting level principle is that fading that is adapted to the learner's current state in the development of internal script components should be more effective for script internalization than fixed fading regimes.
