Definition

Wholagat

Wholagat is the complete field of agat an individual could affect through present and developable knowledge, resources, and capabilities.

The distinction it protects

What is possible exceeds what is presently visible.

Wholagat includes possibilities opened by attainable learning, preparation, cooperation, resource development, and improved capability. Discovering a possibility does not create it; discovery makes part of the field visible.

It is a maximal reference, not a result any finite person can completely realize.

In the path

Let the unreachable whole guide the next reachable step.

A person responds by discerning the best direction currently available, developing greater capacity, correcting continuing consequences where possible, and learning without remaining fixed on an irreversible past.
