An essay is presented on the determination of some transformation patterns of philosophical mechanics in Seventeenth Century. It explores the differences and similarities in the original and creative methods used by practitioners in domains. The transformations identified include the recognition that elaborate and complex objects, the straight-forward cases which require elaboration and intervention, and the removal of material constraints through mental dematerialization or abstraction.
