If capacities can be graduated continuously without natural stopping points, the structural conditions posited for termini may be artifacts of mathematical modeling rather than metaphysical necessities.

Capacities(as what the soul possesses): Abilities or powers something has—the potential to do something (like how your brain has the capacity for both sensing and thinking).
Graduated continuously(describing how capacities might increase or decrease): Changing smoothly and gradually without jumps, like a dimmer switch making light brighter by tiny increments rather than flicking on and off.
Mathematical modeling(the process of turning real situations into mathematical representations): Using math and equations to represent how something works in the real world, like using formulas to predict weather or population growth.
Metaphysical necessities(as used in metaphysics and philosophy of science): Requirements or constraints that come from how reality itself fundamentally works, not just from how we describe it.
