Potentism and Scope

The scope of the exercise of Power in an act of Self-Control is the individual performer, but that in an act that is also intended as setting an example is the target audience, as well.  Thus, 'Scope' is a significant variable in evaluation according to Potentism.  Furthermore, any factor of repeatability in Examplification can extend its Scope beyond its immediate audience.  So, the verbal representation of an act can increase its Potency, which is how the lives, and deaths, of Socrates and Christ continue as among the most powerful determinants of the course of Western history.
