Moreover, as was the case with the Second Analogy, the regulative nature of the principle indicates that we are permitted to search for laws governing interaction, but it neither specifies what they are nor guarantees that we shall find them. Accordingly, since we have experience of objective coexistence (as well as succession) independently of such laws, the latter cannot be viewed as necessary conditions of the possibility of experience. Finally, the Third Analogy is not to be taken as providing an argument for Newton's third law of motion (the equality of action and reaction in all communication of motion), which Kant characterizes as the third mechanical law and attempts to establish in the Metaphysical Foundations of

Natural Science (MAN 4: 544-47; 252-54). Like the law of the conservation of the quantity of matter, the latter is an application of the transcendental principle rather than an explication of it. 86
