Quote from ‘Mems for 8 Lectures’

Term: 
Possibility
Quote: 

A possibility of some sort is […] a particular tinge of consciousness. I do not say that possibility is a consciousness exactly but the tinge of a consciousness, a potential consciousness. However, the distinction is little more than verbal.
