10.14

Action is of five kinds, owing to the distinctions of throwing upward, throwing downward, contracting, expanding, and going. Whirling, emptying, and so on are included in going alone. The definition of throwing upward and the rest is the universal consisting of upward-throwingness and so forth. There, upward-throwingness is a lower universal under actionness that inheres in the non-inherent cause of conjunction with an upper region. In this manner the definition of throwing downward and the rest should be formulated.
