These are reducable into four types: the Completed Act, the Potential Act, the Initialized Act and the Concetual Act, each identified by a particular.</b><br /><br />Hmm. Intriguing, but I'm not sure I'm following. Did Taum define these different Acts, or just label them.<br /><br />I can follow a distinction between a Completed Act and a Potential Act. But how is a Potential Act distinguished from a Conceptual Act?<br /><br />As a creator myself, and particularly as one building my own secondary world, I don't grasp a subjective difference between "potential" and "conceptual".<br /><br />And "Intialized" sits out there dangling between "Conceptual" and "Completed".<br /><br />Oh, so tantalizing a tid-bit!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11385069807153008958noreply@blogger.com
