It is a fair question to ask how the physics of the discourse relates to its metaphysics for example, how the perceptible properties of observable instances of fire (its brightness, lightness and heat, let us say) relate to the form of Fire, an intelligible reality that has no perceptible properties at all.
The form of Fire is the non-spatial, non-material, non-perceptible intelligible, eternal and unchanging nature of fire that the Craftsman "imitates," and in so doing produces spatially extended, material, perceptible, transient and variable instances of fire.
Here are some ideas: while you're in line for a pumpkin spice latte (#PSL) at Starbucks; during New York and/or Washington, D.C., weather and other natural events (rainstorms, snowstorms, the rare instance of barely perceptible seismic activity, all sunsets); at major sporting events; during the Oscars; during the season finale of "The Bachelor"; while watching C-SPAN.
Her essentially moderate influence was first perceptible during the Conspiracy of Amboise (March 1560), an instance of tumultuous petitioning by the Huguenot gentry, primarily against Guisard persecution in the name of the King.
In many instances, we were unable to detect any perceptible effect of cross-hybridization in terms of correlation coefficients.
The Mirror Carousel, for instance, subverts our expectations of a traditional carousel by slowing down its movement to a barely perceptible crawl, while the reflective exterior plays with our spatial perceptions and turns the room in on itself.
"How do you do?", with a slight nod of the head and barely perceptible closing of the eyes, would be so helpful in this instance.
Therefore, in our example, the two instances of preparation do not share surface features as there is no direct mapping between the perceptible features of a student studying for a law examination and a runner training for a marathon.
To solve the problems of separation and precision, contemporary philosophers such as Speusippus and possibly Plato posited a universe of mathematical entities which are perfect instances of mathematical properties, adequately multiple for any theorem we wish to prove, and separate from the physical or perceptible world.
