Essence and Necessity in a Formal Metaphysics of Actualization
In a previous paper, essence was defined as the extension of a Being relation in a Formal Metaphysics of Actualization. We introduce the Principle of Essentiality, which restricts accessibility to beings with the same essence. Essential modes of being are necessary, but not conversely. This asymmetry results from the difference between the essence of a being and its accessibility domain.
