Examples
-
It has a wider aptitudinal range than any other cereal in Ethiopia.
12. Tef 1996
-
While aptitudinal extension or internal quantity is so bound up with the essences of bodies that its separability from them involves a metaphysical contradiction, external quantity is, on the other hand, only a natural consequence and effect, which can be so suspended and withheld by the First Cause, that the corporeal substance, retaining its internal quantity, does not extend itself into space.
The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 5: Diocese-Fathers of Mercy 1840-1916 1913
-
˜dispositional™ or ˜aptitudinal™ determination, by which an agent is determined with respect to the future to putting one part of a contradiction [into effect].
Francis of Marchia Schabel, Christopher 2008
-
(quantitas interna seu in actu primo) is understood that entity, by virtue of which a corporeal substance merely possesses "aptitudinal extension", i.e. the "capability" of being extended in tri-dimensionaI space.
