To the case and to that alone, in which, the motion or motions, being of the thelematic and therein moreover of the ergastic kind, have had for their prime mover or principal agent concerned a rational or at least a sentient being, belong the words end, design, and means - end, operation, means, design.
Of the word end, and its synonym - the compound term end-in-view, an /the/ exposition has been already given, the idea of some good (i.e. pleasure or exemption from pain in this or that shape or shapes) as about eventually to result to the agent in question from the proposed act in question.
The term /word/ means is a term alike applicable with equal propriety to the designation of body considered in the character of an instrument, or any action or motion considered in the character of an operation, tending to the production of a work, or any good looked to in the character of an end.
Productive and unproductive - under one or other of these denominations, as the case is /may/ be, may be referred the action in question in the case /in so far as/ where being of the thelematic and moreover of the ergastic kind, it has for its end in view the bringing into existence any intended result in the character of a work.

Title: [30 Sept. 1814 Logic Chap VIII]Description: 30 Sept. 1814 Logic Chap VIII B 11 Ch.2. Ontology Entities classed 45 11 In relation to the result in question, considered in the character of an effect, suppose, at pleasure, any one body to be the prime or principal mover or agent, and the motion, the action, or the operation of it, to be the prime or principal cause. In no instance can any such cause be in operation, but it will happen to it to be, on all sides, encompassed and surrounded by circumstances. Those circumstances will be composed /consist/ of the state of the contiguous and surrounding bodies, in respect of motion or rest, form, colour, quantity, and the like. Among these some will appear to be exercising on the result a material operative influence: others not to be exercising such influence. Influential and influencing circumstances, uninfluential or uninfluencing circumstances; in one or other of these two classes of circumstances, taken together, will every circumstance by which it can happen to the principal agent or agents to be encompassed, be comprised /referred/. Promotive or obstructive - under one or other of these denominations may the whole assemblage of influential circumstances be comprised. Any circumstances that operate /act/ that are considered as acting /operating/ in the character of obstructive circumstances are termed in one word obstacles. 67

Title: [28 Sept. 1814 Logic Ch.2. Ontology]Description: 28 Sept. 1814 Logic Ch.2. Ontology Entities classed 21 15 Action. For /In/ the idea of action, the idea of motion is an essential ingredient. But to actual action actual motion can scarcely be regarded as necessary. Action is either motion itself or a /the/ tendency to motion. Under the term action, besides motion a tendency, though so it be without actual motion, seems to be included. Held back by strings, a magnet and a bar of iron, suspended at a certain distance from each other, remain both of them without motion: cut the strings of either of them, it moves till it comes in contact with the other; but for the state of mutual action which preceded the cutting of the strings no such motion would have taken place. 43
