Thus the eternal relatedness is of the form — the είδος —; the emergent actual occasion is the superject of informed value; value, as abstracted from any particular superject, is the abstract matter — the ϋλη — which is common to all actual occasions and the synthetic activity which prehends valueless possibility into superjicient informed value is the substantial activity.
