Editing Process philosophy (section)

====Relation between actual entities and abstractions stated in the ontological principle====
For Whitehead, besides its temporal generation by the actual entities which are its contributory causes, a process may be considered as a concrescence of abstract ''ingredient'' eternal objects. God enters into every temporal actual entity.

Whitehead's ''ontological principle'' is that whatever reality pertains to an abstraction is derived from the actual entities upon which it is founded or of which it is comprised.
