For some accidents, their temporal occurrence is known by observation.
A thing may be first at rest and then in motion; a surface may be white and subsequently black. Such cases show a change of state and motivate the distinction between the occurrence and cessation of accidents.
Observation establishes a change; a full metaphysical analysis of what undergoes change requires further argument. One should not treat every observable transition as though it immediately settles every ontological premise.
