That force, in virtue of its action, is put "somewhere" suggests a bond of force and space.
A force acts by radiating its action; it spreads its effects out (ihre Wirkungen von sich ausbreiten; #10; 1:24.23), and this spread determines its source as being inside it, locating force in virtue of its action.
First, just as we might think of vis viva as a measure of the force a moving body has in virtue of its being in motion, so we might think of vis mortua as a measure of the force a body has to bring about motion even while at rest, or at an instant.
For Leibniz, vis viva is a force attributable to particular bodies in virtue of which they are able to perform work on other bodies — or as in the case of a pendulum — on themselves; he thus held the conservation of vis viva to be the most fundamental, overarching conservation law for the physical world.
Ellis suggests we should distinguish between properties that objects have independently of any outside forces acting on them (what we will call the Ellis-intrinsic properties), and those that they have in virtue of those outside forces (the Ellis-extrinsic properties).
In virtue of its own forces acting on matter, nature emerges as a uniform system that evolves to ever increasing order, diversity, and complexity.
Finally, there is a fundamental question that is not discussed at all: In virtue of what is a norm of assertion in force for a speaker or a speech community, if it is in force?
In the context of his physics, vis viva, or "living force," represents for Leibniz a measure of a body's ability to bring about effects in virtue of its motion.
In virtue of the simple Green's function solution and the equivalent body-force concept, the elastic, electric, and magnetic fields induced by an arbitrarily shaped polygon with a uniform eigenfield inside are evaluated analytically.
Black box models are incomplete in virtue of leaving out details about underling mechanisms and that those models ultimately depend for their explanatory force on the promise that the functional models do, in fact, correspond to how the mechanism works.
In virtue of what, precisely, would you distinguish them aesthetically?
