Moreover, since the effect is established from particulars alone through positive and negative concomitance, these [particulars] alone possess specific characteristics, not for the sake of universals, because the nature of being real consists in having the characteristic of producing an effect. Therefore, what concern is it to one seeking practical efficacy whether the universal is different or non-different from the specific characteristic? For when a person seeking practical efficacy acts, [having] aimed at that nature which is suitable for practical efficacy, differences and non-differences are considered by those seeking practical efficacy only in relation to that [nature], not out of [mere] addiction [to speculation].
