So how does Platonia's perfect necessary classes restrain or
contain this world of contingency ? Or does it ?
Hi Roger,
That is exactly my question! How does Platonism show the contingent
to be necessary? As far as I have found, it cannot show necessity of the
contingent. In the rush to define the perfect, all means to show the
necessity of contingency was thrown out. This is why I propose that we
define existence as necessary possibility; we have contingency built
into our ontology in that definition. ;-)

Why do you write 'accidental'? Platonia is our invention to describe classes
of facts by abstracting away particulars.
