والأكوان وهي الاجتماع والافتراق والحركة والسكون
The akwān are conjunction, separation, motion, and rest.
In this technical usage, kawn refers to the spatial state of a substance or body, not simply to the universe at large. It concerns being in a place or spatial locus.
The four states must not be confused. Conjunction and separation concern the spatial relation of two substances, while motion and rest compare the spatial condition of a subject across successive instants.
