But as we understand Whitehead, the passage from the indeterminacy of the initial phases of concrescence, through the intermediate phases to the final phase, satisfaction, is a process which concretizes or actualizes the occasion itself, and the occasion is not actual until the process is complete.9 If so, the indeterminacy of the earlier phases of concrescence is a radical or absolute indeterminacy inconsistent with the passage of time, for there is nothing as yet actual for which time could pass; thus, concrescence is a process in a metaphorical or figurative sense, and this is why Whitehead associates concrescence with creativity, calling creativity the Category of the Ultimate, meaning that though it is used to explain all else, it is not explicable.

Absolute space and absolute time have natures of their own, that is, extensional features which are independent of any external means of measurement as for example by measuring rods and peAbsolute space and absolute time have natures of their own, that is, extensional features which are independent of any external means of measurement as for example by measuring rods and peabsolute time have natures of their own, that is, extensional features which are independent of any external means of measurement as for example by measuring rods and pendulums:

Physical measuring standards, such as measuring rods and pendulums, simply would function to reveal these structures of absolute space and absolute time which contain those standards.

Thus, the motion of the pendulum is taken as the standard, as a more suitable «approximation» to the uniform time flow of absolute time, and some physical explanation is then sought to account for the seasonal variation of the solar day relative to this standard.18 Were standards other than the pendulum chosen as operating «more uniformly,» then the pendulum would be abandoned in favor of a «more uniform approximation» to absolute time.

Consequently, it is incorrect to interpret Newton as maintaining that absolute space and absolute time can be measured without reference to some material objects, that absolute space and absolute time are real existents apart from all material objects, and that absolute space and absolute time are founded on essentially metaphysical considerations (see part I of Toulmin's two - part essay).

Absolute, true and mathematical time, of itself, and from its own nature, flows equably without relation to anything external, and by another name is called duration: relative, apparent, and common time, is some sensible and external (whether accurate or unequable) measure of duration by the means of motion, which is commonly used instead of true time; such as an hour, a day, a month, a year.
