dormant actuality

is a zone for the emergence of things, a life world, actual but unthematized, out of which may be drawn focal objects and relations.

Kant's two senses of actuality were recovered in the twentieth century by Husserl, who distinguished between dormant and focal actualities: dormant actualities are perceived as present in the field of intuition, but are not 'singled out'... they form a zone for the emergence of focal actualities (Husserl, 1913, 1057). In terms of his later thought, they form a life world, actual but unthematized, out of which may be drawn focal objects and relations. (Kant dictionary (caygill) : 52-3)

is an unthematized zone of emergence out of which a second kind of actuality... namely that of perceived objects and relations (I.E focal actuality) can spring.

is perceived as present in the field of intuition, but not 'singled out' (forming a lifeworld). They are actual but unthematized, out of which may be drawn focal objects and relations.
