A change or movement's material explanation is the aspect of the change or movement

which is determined by the material that composes the moving or changing things. For a table,
that might be wood; for a statue, that might be bronze or marble.

A change or movement's formal explanation is a change or movement caused by the

arrangement, shape or appearance of the thing changing or moving. Aristotle says for example
that the ratio 2:1, and number in general, is the explanation of the octave.

A change or movement's efficient or moving explanation consists of things apart from the
thing being changed or moved, which interact so as to be an agency within the change or

movement. For example, the efficient explanation of a table is a carpenter, or a person working
as one, and according to Aristotle the efficient explanation of a boy is a father.

An event's final explanation is the end toward which it directs. That for the sake of which a
thing is what it is. For a seed, it might be an adult plant. For a sailboat, it might be sailing. For a
ball at the top of a ramp, it might be coming to rest at the bottom. For a person's action, it is the
goal.
