Whitehead thus emphasizes the transcendence
of forms in a way that prevents him from treating them only as forms
of entities — at least, entities
of the world's
actuality.30 A strictly Aristotelian exposition
of the «ontological principle,» according to
which all forms are situated in the world's
actuality, is thereby excluded.
They are co-principles
which in their mutual relationship enable entity to become actual in such a way that this
actuality — again by reason

For
actuality —

First
of all, it is as true for Aristotle as it is for Whitehead that in dealing with natural
actuality we always encounter both principles or «poles,»
which together constitute one natural entity, whose duality or bipolarity is part
of its essence.
Surely it is more than a mere accident that Whitehead so conceives the «
actuality»
of his actual entities in such a way as to fit the Aristotelian sense
of energeia and entelecheia, both
of which are rendered by the Latin actus and its derivative forms.
In this it functions very much like the Thomistic God,
which as infinite esse communicates to each
actuality its own esse or act
of being.2
The religious insight is the grasp
of truth: that the order
of the world, the value

of this truth: that the universe exhibits a creativity with infinite freedom, and a realm
of forms with infinite possibilities; but that this creativity and these forms together are impotent to achieve
actuality apart from the complete ideal harmony,
which is God.61
Whitehead believes that Plato discovered those general ideas
which are relevant to everything that happens: The Ideas, the Physical Elements, The Psyche, The Eros, The Harmony, The Mathematical Relations, The Receptacle.30 In adapting Plato's seven basic notions Whitehead takes «the notion

And, as we have seen, the notion
of God arises in «the question whether the process
of the temporal world passes into other

In any case «creativity,»

But insofar as Whitehead conceives
of eternal objects as a multiplicity
of discrete specifications among
which actualities select, coherently conceiving the aim as one is problematic at best.
Whitehead would agree all concepts are in
actuality as long as all concepts
which have not yet ingressed into the world (by reversion and / or satisfaction) are held in God's conceptuality as a discrete, infinite multiplicity, some
of which we prehend when we have a «new» conceptual feeling; his version
of reversion.
The details
of the future are chosen by
actualities as they prehend the past and are lured into the future through the possibilities with

He says «indetermination [as to how inherited objects will fit into the
actuality's satisfaction], rendered determinate in the real concrescence, is the meaning

Every new settlement
of that community, every new disjunctive multiplicity

of experience by the immanent process
of concrescence.

The central chapter on the Second Premise (K 65 - 140) contains: (i) a refutation
of the attempted application
of Cantor's transfinite mathematics to the domain
of extramental reality, (ii) two philosophical arguments
which attempt to show the conceptual absurdity
of the notion
of an infinite past
of finite
actualities, and (iii) two arguments from physics (concerning Big Bang and Thermodynamic theory, respectively)
which attempt to show that probably the natural universe had an absolute beginning a finite time ago.
Hence, in the general sense in
which the notion
of actuality is tied to the notion
of self - realization, the superjective existence
of an occasion is as actual as its subjective existence.
that is, «The world is thus [italics mine] faced by the paradox that, at least in its highest
actualities, it craves for novelty and yet is haunted by terror at the loss

In this regard, it must be emphasized that whatever is given for the immediate experience
of an
actuality must be immanent in, and a constituent
of, the
actuality; for, in the organic philosophy, «experience is not a relation
of an experient to something external to it, but is itself the «inclusive whole»
which is the required connectedness
of «many in one»» (AI 299).
A kind
of rational intuition is needed to perceive the general principles
which are there ready - made in
actuality.6 Or if patterned on the genetic - functional model, the generalizations have as their subject - matter «distinctions that arise in and because
of inquiry into the subject - matter
of experience - nature, and then they function or operate as divisions
of labor in the further control and ordering
of its materials and processes» (DWP 175).
The
actualities and relationships
which constitute human experience are felt in a context
of relativity
which is ultimately rooted in physical relationships.
The difficulty in explaining satisfactorily this balance between the
