The 3rd Rule of Motion: Collisions

Rule 3: Collisions

When a weaker identity hits a stronger, it will be deflected. When a stronger hits a weaker, it will transfer some of its force to the weaker

This emphasizes the phenomenon of balance and natural limits and is given by the equation: v1′ = [ Θ(2 - α) - 1 ]v1 + ΘαVc where:

• the left side is the original state activation (This is displacement)
• the right side is the shared state activation (This is rotation)

This is taken from:

• Principles of Cartesian Philosophy Part 2 Proposition 20
