Prime matter is "real" only insofar as it, though just barely removed from non-existence, is not non-existence.
As I write: "To say that prime matter exists is to say that it is potentially, given the appropriate agent, all possible things" but no actual thing.
When I read such word salad as this, I feel unable to engage with its content, because it is so abstruse, (difficult to penetrate; incomprehensible to one of ordinary understanding or knowledge). Thus I have nothing with which to engage. You may or may not view me as worthy of your attention, but as for myself, when I write, I prefer to frame what I write so that it is lucid, and not impenetrable. datc, you asked for feedback, and this is mine: your writing may have a clear meaning to you, but for me, it is of no meaning.
I acknowledge that I am not engaging with your argument, but only because I can't understand it. I would have been willing to, had I been able to get a handle on what it is you are trying to convey, assuming that you want to convey it to the likes of me. If not, then so be it, and I cannot engage.
