The logically possible is a conception, and conceptions exist within the mind. The possible is not a mere name. The possible is not a mental entity and that alone. For all we know logical possibility is the sufficient condition of ontological possibility. The rise or fall of energy level through directed energy vectors, on human and non-human levels, is the third condition for the actualizing of possibilities, or for their failure to actualize.
Ontological possibilities have the form of the future.
For simplicity's sake alone, I insist on the necessity of its possibility in an immediately preceding time, while not denying that it may also have been possible in a longer stretch of time prior to its having become actual. It would be reasonable to believe this longer stretch of time to be the normal case. Also, its possibility may be necessary, even though the likelihood of its actualization is merely probable, and however slightly probable. We are interested in determining the nature of this possible prior to its actualization. We approach the question through consideration of three relevant definitions of the possible suggested by Bruce Aune.
