We will focus particular attention towards distinctive features of argumentation, in particular use of experience and overall structure. The void section of the dialogue will occur in roughly three movements: 1) introduction of the concept and reality of the void through a general form of experience, 2) a development of experimental model by which one can test the veracity of the claims about the void, and 3) extension of the void into mathematical demonstration to illustrate its value in understanding the cohesion of materials. This section in the dialogue, through making these three movements, will illustrate a style of argumentation nascent in the preceding discussion by Salviati, Sagredo, and Simplicio as well as a treatment of experience and contradiction distinct from the style of Aristotle. The distinction in Galileo's treatment of experience is mainly through its isolation of causal factors, a concept alluded to but not fully dealt with in Physics. The argumentation style will then be steeped more heavily in this understanding of the primacy of experience over counterintuitive conclusions, opposite as it appeared in Aristotle.
