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.

of the unity
of their subject» (PR 26 / 39).

The physical prehensions
which are added to this primordial nature, do not as yet have to be brought to unity, but are prehended in terms
of God's conceptual unity, and are thereby instantaneously absorbed into that unity: «in the
process he [God] acquires a consequent multiplicity,
which the primordial character absorbs into its own unity» (PR 349).19 The completely determinate final unity
which Whitehead terms «satisfaction,»
which is the culmination in a normal concrescence, and
which is reached though
phases of indeterminateness
of the mutual relations
of the elements
which partake in the concrescence (PR 25 - 26, 211 - 212)-- this completely determinate unity is not a finishing point for God, but a permanent characteristic
of God.
