Composition/causes/forces / Physics / Cartwright: E.g. mix of electromagnetics and gravity. - Vector addition: is a calculation! - It is not nature, what "adds" the forces - because the "component forces" are not there!
MillVs: the partial forces exist.
CartwrightVsMill: Partial forces do not exist - not even - "partial movement towards the north and the east" where the body moves to the northeast.
I 61
Solution/Cartwright: we have to give up the "facts-view": In the vector addition causal forces are added - no physical forces. - Then not "behavior" of the body, but "ability" to behave".
Problem: so easily the "facts" cannot be abandoned.
