9. Objects / C. Structure of Objects / 3. Matter of an Object
Aristotelian matter seriously threatens the intrinsic unity and substantiality of its object [Gill,ML]

Maybe induction is only reliable IF reality is stable [Mitchell,A]
26. Natural Theory / A. Speculations on Nature / 6. Early Matter Theories / b. Prime matter

Prime matter is actually nothing and potentially everything (or potentially an element) [Gill,ML]

Presentists lack the materials for a realist view of change [Price,H]
27. Natural Reality / D. Time / 2. Passage of Time / d. Time series
The present moment, time's direction, and time's dynamic quality seem to be objective facts [Price,H]
27. Natural Reality / D. Time / 2. Passage of Time / g. Time's arrow
We must explain either the existence of a time direction, or our psychological sense of it [Price,H]
