Under idealism of whatever kind no great significance can attach to the actuality operator which chooses one fully determined possibility out of the vast cloud of unrealised possibilities differing by one or more choice branchings somewhere upstream, or indeed from purely imaginary possibilities or alternatives. If this 'operator' is anything other than a species of ideal distinction ruled over by causality where the broader field is ruled by affinity - indeed, causality would be nothing more than a special kind of affinity. In such a view, for example, the inexistent continuation of the lives of the dead would significantly affect the lives of the living. Is that how the world is for you? Could you make any sense, find any truth in it if it were radically limited to the actual world? And does the boundary between affinity and causality itself 'exist' and change according to hidden laws?
