قيام المعنى بالمعنى
One accidental property subsisting in another.
If the persistence of an accident is itself a second accident, one must explain how the second is borne by the first. In this classical account, an accident does not possess independent spatial location; giving one accident another as its bearer creates a difficult regress or dependence problem.
The objection does not deny the ordinary fact that something may continue to exist. It asks whether being present at successive times requires positing a further independently existing accident called persistence.
