[D-G] Concepts seen as functions

[Rutger H. Cornets de Groot]

Yes, Malgosia, all those processes are energetic, but does that mean 
that "A"--not the letter that you see displayed on your screen or in a 
book, but the virtual, i.e. not actualized state of that letter--is a 
function? Do you "use" the letter "A" like you use an egg in a recipe? 
Does it produce or sprout actualizations of itself? Or is it indeed a 
concept to which we refer in our minds when we see an actual "A"?

Kindly,
Rutger
