Such a miracle would involve the suspension of the laws of nature
at the level of primitive actual occasions, but if we accept the principle that God «speaks» to a given actual occasion in its own «language,» and if the «language» of primitive actual occasions in nature is such that the character of the
data available for aesthetic synthesis in the concrescence of such occasions admits only of absolutely miniscule contrasts with the givenness of the character of the
past, then God has no leverage via subjective aims to introduce shifts in the social structures conditioning the possibilities available for aesthetic synthesis in the concrescences of such primitive actual occasions.

Elsewhere Cobb is careful to specify that both God and man are best characterized as living persons consisting respectively of societies of actual occasions (CNT 188, 192).1 In the present context, consequently, it is clear that we are to understand God to be present in man in the same manner in which one actual occasion is present within another and that this presence concerns the aims
at the fulfillment of a concrescing occasion in a living person by the occasions or «prehended
data» in its
past.
