Re: 245e causal ὥς?
Yes surely, prefacing the genitive absolute, as often. It’s striking (especially after all the preceding neuters) how ταύτης οὔσης is attracted into the gender of φύσεως.
I take it that the “this” is the thing ᾧ ἔνδοθεν (τὸ κινεῖσθαι) αὐτῷ ἐξ αὑτοῦ, the thing whose movement is from within, itself from itself (αυτῳ εξ αὑτου)—and hence ensouled.
