TRIBUNA

Aristotle’s Four Causes, introduced in his work Physics, explain the essence of things through their material (ὕλη, hyle; Latin: causa materialis), form (εἶδος, eidos; Latin: causa formalis), maker or process (ποιητικό αἴτιον, poietikon aition; Latin: causa efficiens), and purpose (τέλος, telos; Latin: causa finalis).

Material Cause (What It Is Made Of)

    • Weight: Each Tribuna (unit) weighs 70kg (3 whole boards = 37.5kg, 2 diagonals = 20kg, 2 half verticals = 12.5kg), making it manageable yet robust.
