Simplicius reports that things composed of sharp and very fine atoms in similar positions are hot and fiery; those composed of atoms with the opposite character come to be cold and watery (in Phys. 36.3 6 = 67A14).
Yet, It is incredibly compelling because it is the real thing, composed not long after the airing of an episode, and with a participant who is both wildly charismatic and creepy/off-putting.
As for sounds, this distinction is consequent upon the distinction between two kinds of medium: the source medium (that is, the stuff the thing is composed of) and the medium proper or environment medium, surrounding the sounding thing, the one in which the hearer could be immersed as well.
First, a thing is a sounding entity only insofar the stuff or the stuffs the thing is composed of is or are vibrating.
Now the relation of something indeterminate to what determines it is a relation of "matter" to "form".[25] Hence everything we can truly say about a subject reflects the fact that the thing is composed of an indeterminate side and a determining element of matter and form.
Every physical thing is composed of microphysical entities which are constructions out of percepts and other neutral particulars.
Consider, for example, the main rival of the bundle theory: the theory according to which a thing is composed of a bare substratum together with its attributes.
These words, spoken nearly 2,500 years ago, resonate with the recent Nobel Prizes in medicine, chemistry, and physics – which recognise advances in our understanding of how tiny things are composed of even tinier things.
Matter is what accounts for the diminished reality of the sensible world, for all natural things are composed of forms in matter.
It is important to note that nothing in these reports suggests that Eurytus thought that things were composed of numbers or that he regarded the points that defined a given thing as atoms of which things were made, as has sometimes been supposed (Cornford 1922 1923, 10 11).
