As I said, possible means identical to itself.

I know you said it, but that doesn't make it so.  Is it possible that there is a an even number greater than 2 which is not the sum of two primes?  Is it real?  Is it possible that there is a cardinal number between aleph0 and aleph1?  Is it real?  If you flip a coin is it possible it will come up heads?  What's the difference between "possible" and "necessary".

When you define a word you need to make it consistent with usage.

Now you tell me how it differs from "real".
