An accident differs: its localization follows that of the substance which is its subject.

An accident is a quality or state not existing as a separate body, but occurring in a subject. Whiteness is the whiteness of something; its relation to location is therefore tied to what bears it. One must not treat the location of a color as identical in kind to the location of a body.

A subject is the bearer in which an accident occurs. Identifying a quality is not the same as identifying its carrier.
