is defined such that the real is not merely a subset of it. It is in fact the other way around. The possible is extrapolated retroactively from the real.

possible and the real is attributed to a 'theological model of creation' in which the real is simply one of the many possibles, all of which resemble the real, that has been brought into existence. This is, loosely, a Platonic or Christian model in which every possible existent, whether that be an event or a being, has some existence in either an ideal or divine realm. What is real, on this model, is a subset of the possible. But in fact, Deleuze argues, the supposed set of possibles is simply an extrapolation from the real which guarantees the representational relation between the possible and the real' (Colwell 1997).

is only achieved by attempting the impossible again and again.

To achieve the possible, we must attempt the impossible again and again.

is that which, only at its precise moment of emergence, begins to have always been.

I never pretended that one can insert reality into the past and thus work backwards in time. However, one can without any doubt insert there the possible, or, rather, at every moment, the possible insert itself there. Insofar as unpredictable and new reality creates itself, its self there.
