Potentialities :
physical, biological, brain potentialities …
The spaces that we consider empty, as spatial intervals which separate the objects, are nevertheless filled of information, directives and potentialities as all sorts of universal strengths,
information, directives, and potentialities, of transcendent order, which are so vectors of the divine world's nobility.
Particularly, at elementary level of the beings, there are ceaseless anticipations (previsions for the future) ; the biological reactivities, for example by means of the immunizing process, give evidence of it in a obvious way. Correlatively, directives with biological effects, directives with behavioral effects, even directives with deadly effects, are constantly diffused in the whole body, without change of "sense" during their transfer (notably when they cross cells's envelope).
These facts, what do they presuppose?
------------------
In a time, when the world's knowledges were very elementary, Plato conscious of the potential state of things, already wondered where is the reality in itself (we have a representation of the reality but we do not know the "potential reality") :
"Parmenide : Because, Socrates, I imagine that you and any person, who say that there is of every thing a reality in itself, would admit, at first, that none of these realities is in our world.
Socrates : indeed, a "reality in itself", how could it be in our world ?" (cf. Plato - Parmenide, 133c).
Some centuries later, Plotinus has been, too, sensitive to potential state of the things before their actualization (let's remind that by "actualization", we understand : materialization to become realities, materialization of the potential state to real state, of the timeless state to temporal state, of the unitary state to fractal state).
He wondered, for example :
- "The world up, does it contain all the things which are " here down " ?
Is not it possible to say that world up, is containing all things which are produced by a formal reason (logos) and according to a specific shape ?
But if it contains fire, it also contains water, it also contains, finally, plants.
Therefore the plants, how are they up ?
And fire of here down, how does it live ?
And earth of here down, how does it live ?
Because or they live, or, being deprived of life, they will be nevertheless up, and so, it would be necessary to say, in this last case, that it is not true that all world up, is alive. " (cf. Treatise 38. 10, 5),
- "Do animals preexist in the spirit ?
But horse and other animals, how can they be really present up ?
How not to be obliged from saying that to produce them, God was to look towards the things here down ?
But then, if so that there is here down a horse or some other animal, God had invented the notion of horse ?
Nevertheless, how would it be possible that, wanting to make a horse, he imagined the notion of horse ?
Because, it is evident, if he wanted exactly a horse, it was necessary that the notion of horse already was existing.
So, it was not possible that he imagine notion of horse for producing horse, but it was necessary, at first, that one horse not real, exists, before the one who would be produced, later, after that.
If thus horse was existing, before he become real and if it was not imagined at first to be then produced, it is not because it looks towards the things here down that the one who possessed in him this spiritual Horse, had it in him and it is not because he had intention to produce the things here down that he had in him this spiritual Horse and other animals, but animals preexisted in him and animals came here down inevitably to their continuation …
Indeed who could stop such a power who can be, at the same moment, in himself and out of himself ? " (cf. Treatise 38 - 8, 4 - 10).
Today, we can, and we must interrogate us more,
before its existence, before its perceptible state, how is reality ?
Sketched ? :
"Indeed, what does prevent the power of the Whole's Soul, because it is a reason (logos) which is in every thing, from making a first sketch of the animal forms, next that the souls's powers reach these forms, this pre-sketch being, in a sense, a group of illuminations thrown, as a precursor, over matter ?
Then, soul has to finish this sketch, and has to cut up the pre-sketched tracks according to their parts : so, every soul produces and becomes part towards which it went …" (cf. Treatise 38 – 7, 10).
Without seeing in soul an operator as has imagined it Plotinus (soul is only a representative concept of the beings's spiritual identity), we believe nevertheless to "realism" (to existence) of a timeless domain where are potentialities that prefigure reality.
Unknown of philosophers and theologians, we have named this transcendent domain : spacimplicatio, designating so, the implication space of a divine creative entity in the world.
Because, evidently, it’s not the laws and principles which manage, lead, animate universe !
