Formalization and Materialization

By 'Formalization' and 'Materialization', I mean the processes that I have been characterizing as the Formal Principle and the Material Principle, respectively. Thus, some processes that are commonly called 'formalization' would not qualify as Formalization. For, I have distinguished Principle from Cause on the basis of the former being an internally generated process. So, where 'formalization' refers to the imposition of Form from without, that would be the operation of a Cause not a Principle. Generally, which obtains will vary from case to case, e. g. some marriages are Principles, and some are Causes. Where the expression 'a mere formality' is accurate is a reliable sign of 'formalization', not Formalization, occurring. Likewise, Materialization is to be distinguished from many usages of 'materialization'. Often, the former will apply insofar as the latter refers to a development, e. g. from a germ of an idea, but to the extent that what develops takes on a definite form, 'Materialization' is no longer applicable. Sometimes to 'materialize' means to 'appear'. Once again, if it more accurately means to 'appear in some determinate manner', then 'Materialize' is inappropriate. On the other hand, if 'materialize' means 'appear to a Form-imposing perceiver', as it does in certain Epistemological theories, then, 'Materialize' could be correct, depending further on the genesis of the appearing. In that case, where Materialization is followed by Formalization, Evolvement occurs. A significant example of this type of Evolvement is the kinaesthetic process, in which its Motility is followed by the organism's awareness of that Motility.
