TIL: final objects
Speaking categorically of Zarathustra, he invented one of the most generic subobject classifiers - Good vs Bad.
The Greeks invented another one: mortal vs immortal.
Galileo Galilei postulated that mechanical systems with speed=0 (first derivative) as the final object are equivalent to systems with acceleration=0 (second derivative) as the final object.
Sir Isaac Newton postulated that gravitation has a final object - g (third derivative = 0).
etc. etc.
