For example an instantaneous volume in instantaneous space has three characters, namely, its position, its extrinsic character as a group of abstractive sets, and its intrinsic character which is the limit of natural properties which is indicated by any one of these abstractive sets.
Before we can talk about position in instantaneous space, we must evidently be quite clear as to what we mean by instantaneous space in itself.

Instantaneous space must be looked for as a character of a moment.

For a moment is all nature at an instant.

It cannot be the intrinsic character of the moment.

For the intrinsic character tells us the limiting character of nature in space at that instant.
