pp1d07 operare, operatio

Meaning | "Operare", working. A dynamic process (a process in time, in duratio). "Agere" {3d02 agere, actio^passio} is a special type of working, when operation is from within (in se) and the operation is a sufficient condition for something to happen. Acting hence is relative to a specific effect. An operation can technically be an action relative to one effect and a passion (partial cause) relative to another (think of collateral damage). Things in alio like windmills and planetary systems "work" (operare) in the patere-sense. They do not act. More: [notes] to {3d02 agere, actio^passio NOT actu}
Subsets (kinds) | There are two complement kinds of operating: agere and patere.
Mantras [what is] | ad existendum et operandum certo modo determinare modus/res quatenus substantia ( = Deo = natura-sense 2) ad existendum et aliquid operandum determinati (determinata ratione) consideratur ad existendum et operandum determinatur a talibus causis quae etiam ab aliis determinatae sunt ad existendum et operandum certa ac determinata ratione et hae iterum ab aliis et sic in infinitum. ______________ instead of operandum one sometimes finds agendum (probably a slip, since ad agendum determinatur is a contradiction). cf. also actiones straightforwardly used for passions in {4p59}
