 No. That's a relative clause and he wanted to make sure you saw 
 it as "matter which adjusts change" and not "change that is 
 adjusted by matter".  >>

Just pointing out choices of words.  {choH} means "change, alter"; {lIS} means
"adjust."  So as not to confuse beginners.....

Meanwhile, we already have {woj} for "reaction," in a sense of meaning.  And,
MO did not use it here.
