In particular, it is assumed that an agent may weakly actualize a decision that is free in the libertarian sense by bringing about the antecedent of a true "counterfactual of freedom".
As The New Republic recently put it, "Clintonism is a political strategy that assumes a skeptical public; Obamaism is a way of actualizing a latent ideological majority".
It may be that even though, considered as an event, God's actualizing a world is necessarily surpassable, considered as an action, as a choice to carry out a plan, God's actualizing that world is unsurpassable.
Detractors of this argument wonder whether it follows from the fact that any world actualized by God is morally surpassable that any act of actualizing a world is morally surpassable.
Thus, God could avoid creating such circumstances, thereby weakly actualizing a world with only moral good.
Plantinga's idea of weakly actualizing a world can be viewed as having God actualizing a subset of the world, letting the free choices of creatures complete the world.
God's decision to actualize a world might then be morally unsurpassable, in that it correctly responds to the reasons relevant to the choice in precisely the way that those reasons call for, even if the world that is thereby created is surpassable (Howard-Snyder and Howard-Snyder 1994; Langtry 2008, pp. 74-78).
Finally, inspiration involves approach motivation, in which the individual strives to transmit, express, or actualize a new idea or vision.
The species actualizes the potential intellect as a form actualizes a potency.
Why didn't God actualize a world like that?
So whichever world God chooses to actualize, it will be true that God could have actualized a morally better one.
