Being prepared with the capacity to deal with the unknown , things unpredictable from individual past experience alone. What happens next is something that we can only appreciate if we consider the boundary of an individual to be something beyond their own physical condition. Potential precedes the capacity to act. The net value of any Potential can only be evaluated by survival after the conditions are encountered. Or even if the Potential is in its final form, or is only at one plateau in its evolution that might not be fully actualized until a thousand generations have passed and other modifying conditions have been encountered.
Goals are merely rest-stops along O ngoingness.
Dynamic systems may also be in metamorphic transition. Vis a vis conceptual modeling, our mathematical language must change to accommodate Temporality, and must be as organically open to adjustment, change and potential alteration as the physical reality f unctions it parallels. So is our social order in general. We strive for survival together. There will be resources to help you get better.
