Was listening to Timaeus earlier. There Plato uses the term necessity in place of where Plotinus would use matter. I thought that was an interesting nuance to the notion of the lowest form of being. Can the axis of actuality and potentiality also be applied to the dynamic of Form/Matter? Such that we would have on the ideal side: Form, Idea, Actuality, Being, Reason (Potency?)- and on the other, Matter, Necessity, Potentiality, non-being. But isn't the grouping of Necessity and Potentiality incongruous?
