I polished an older idea I had and threw it in the Emporium.
Were I to guess at which propositions were part of the "Twelve", I would guess:
- I. Things don’t just appear. (EH 38.10-11; DRN I 150-174)
- II. Things don’t just disappear. (EH 39.1-2; DRN I 215-224, 238)
- III. It’s always been this way. (EH 39.2-6, 44.6-7; DRN II 297-308, V 362-364)
- IV. It’s all just things in space. (EH 39.7-40.6; DRN I 419-439, V 352-362)
- V. All things are made of particles. (EH 40.7-41.5; DRN I 483-503) τὸ πᾶν ἐστι σώματα καὶ κενόν
- VI. Space extends infinitely. (EH 41.6-10; DRN I 959-984)
- VII. Particles are unlimited. (EH 42.1-42.5; DRN I 985-1021, II 339-40, 523-531)
- VIII. Particles have nearly unlimited shapes. (EH 42.6-42.12; DRN II 341-381)
- IX. Particles always move, even when enlaced. (EH 43.1-44.7; DRN II 309-333)
And then perhaps...
- X. Everything constantly radiates particles. (EH 46.1-48.6)
- XI. Particles have shape, size, and weight. (EH 54.3-6, DRN II 748-752)
- XII. Particles fall, bounce, and swerve (DRN II 216-220)
Clay and DeWitt each come up with slightly different lists, so this is just my own swing in the barely-visible dark.

Finding Things At EpicureanFriends.com
What's the best strategy for finding things on EpicureanFriends.com? Here's a suggested search strategy:
- First, familiarize yourself with the list of forums. The best way to find threads related to a particular topic is to look in the relevant forum. Over the years most people have tried to start threads according to forum topic, and we regularly move threads from our "general discussion" area over to forums with more descriptive titles.
- Use the "Search" facility at the top right of every page. Note that the search box asks you what section of the forum you'd like to search. If you don't know, select "Everywhere." Also check the "Search Assistance" page.
- Use the "Tag" facility, starting with the "Key Tags By Topic" in the right hand navigation pane, or using the "Search By Tag" page, or the "Tag Overview" page which contains a list of all tags alphabetically. We curate the available tags to keep them to a manageable number that is descriptive of frequently-searched topics.
