Reason, Sufficiency, Actuality

The Principle of Sufficient Reason is, most generally, 'Everything that exists has a sufficient reason', with whether or nor 'reason' is synonymous with 'cause' the basis of a significant dispute between Rationalists and Empiricists.  Thus typically ignored is what 'Sufficient' might signify, i. e. how it is distinguished from 'Reason'.  One possibility is that it connotes a difference between conflicting reasons.  So, is there is a conflict of reasons in the simplest case, namely a single entity or event, it can only be a reason for it to exist vs. a reason for it to not exist, a conflict that underlies every conflict between multiple entities or events.  In other words, Sufficiency is a condition of Actualization, i. e. implicit in which is the rejection of non-Actualization.  Now, though Actuality is sometimes classified as a Modality, it is more than a Modality.  For, Modality is a category of Thought, whereas Actuality is independent of Thought.  Thus, Sufficiency is a stronger Rational condition than even Necessity, which is never more than Virtual, as is evinced by the insufficiency of Moral Necessity, i. e. Obligation, to compel obedience.  So, to accordingly modify it, the Principle of Sufficient Reason is 'Everything that exists has a reason why it is actual rather than non-actual'.
