Well, a construction is defined as taking place in isolation. (Constructor+substrates isolated.) So if conditions are required, they are just substrates and so 'conditionally possible' is not a separate concept from 'possible'. > > Given the CT would build transformations out of what cannot happen...so > a constraint-oriented structure.

Isn't that just a higher level of detail? If I understand you correctly -- yes. -- David Deutsch
