Finally, I would like to thank Dr. Fyodor Kondrashov, who is not only a referee but also a coeditor of this paper for Biology Direct, for his fairness in handling a manuscript with which he does not agree, and for his courage to write an open review for a work most probably strange - but with a certain non-negligible potentiality of importance.
There exist several studies in the literature which have shown the potentiality offered by certain vibration-based techniques aimed at detecting damage in structural systems.
For example, when a certain nucleotide position with an elevated potentiality of the directional changes is the position responsible for coding the amino acid in a certain antigenic site, the probability of this amino acid change is expected to be higher than that for other amino acids in this or other antigenic sites.
The most convincing way of understanding this alternative is in terms of a cause that contains the effect in itself as a potentiality that is actualized given certain conditions.
Diet selection in adult vertebrates proves to be largely the result of individual learning processes that guide the genetically determined response potentialities of the newborn individual into certain definite channels.
The value-laden character of the background assumptions linking evidence to theories should not foreclose the possibility of discovering that one's values are mistaken, because (for example) they are based on erroneous beliefs about human potentialities and the consequences of putting certain values into practice.
Plants do not lose their developmental potentialities during differentiation and retain a certain level of plasticity [ 54], either by maintaining pro-embryonic or meristematic cells in the adult tissues or by a major developmental reprogramming to acquire the embryonic or meristematic status [ 55].
Most Aristotelian interpreters believed matter to be prope nihil, pure potentiality, while others believed that it possessed a certain degree of reality and actuality.
Egg laying potentiality is an important attribute, which determines to certain extent the reproductive success of a population.
Nonetheless, actuality and potentiality are present in them because they possess a certain intermediary nature and hence are likened or "assimilated" to something higher and more actual, and to something lower and more potential.
