Hi Phil, 

I just wanted to reiterate what I said to Tobin.  I don't think that permanence is the most telling variable.  It's whether or not what is has form of its own.  This gets directly to the ontological AND epistemological issues under consideration by contemporary scientific essentialists and people doing powers-based metaphysics.  It is from those people that you get very serious philosophical thinking that advances the ontology of the position, thereby differentiating it further from various versions of post-Kantianism.  They all show up as not wanting to break with the assumption that whatever order there is, it's given externally.

r.
