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.

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.
