Full Idea
Powers are not necessarily reducible to forces. ...That new powers can be found when others combine is a regular part of common sense.
Gist of Idea
Powers are not just basic forces, since they combine to make new powers

A Reaction
[first bit p.102] Hm. I've always thought of powers as basic components of ontology. This idea implies that a herd of buffalo has a single power to flatten a tented village. An extra buffalo creates a completely new power. An awful lot of vague powers.
