The status of the possible/impossible is entirely an aspect of the actual. 
My point is that what is possible/impossible is a function of the actual but 
it is not the same thing as the actual.

dmb says:
Oh, for Pete's sake. Do you really imagine that there is an adult 
english-speaker who does not know that there is a difference between the 
actual and the possible? Again, my problem is the way you are using "the 
possilbe", as if possiblities were pre-existing "eternal ideas" that sit 
around waiting to be actualized. Its the crypto-theological nonsense that 
bothers me, not the distinction between manifest and maybe.
