realizable entity = def. a specifically dependent continuant that inheres in one of more independent continuants and which is exhibited only through certain characteristic processes of realization in which the bearer participates. Realizable entities whose instances are such that in the course of their existence they may contain periods of actualization, when they are manifested through processes in which their bearers participate, and periods of dormancy, when they are not so manifested.
