[ c 2 , 1 ] substratum of open possibilities

(C2) The historical-dialectical matter is pure utopia, is the world’s substratum (unfinished, inmanent, latent); a subtratum being baked by the dialectic fire of its own process. And being done in the same «what/which» self-dertermined intended laboratory, ultimately pending, of all our matter. Only that way has matter its own organizational process through life, consciousness, binding history, and works that make present the full-sense specter: a matter that remains open onwards. The quest for matter is the problem of «what/which» of human content, and at the same time the content of a nature that cosmically involves us rather than only supports us. Man and possibility. How is himself possible? Man is only possible if its world has a substratum of open possibilities, available, latent. No process is simply possible without a creative and utopian matter of this sort. (Bloch, E. (1964): Utopia-matter arch)
