intermediate disposition

Meaning

Phrase.

The conclusion says every natural process must observe an intermediate disposition. Its immediate example is that nature makes metals through principles, not directly from elements; art cannot bypass what nature herself requires. The phrase organizes the whole explanatory ladder from chaos to elements, principles and products. It is a methodological limit on shortcuts rather than a new fourth constituent.
