So, if I understand what I consider the crux of the argument, conceding infinite regress _arguendo_ nonetheless results in a "possible" or contingent series. And since it is contingent, it cannot account for itself, for it lacks the "act" to account for its existence. And since the series represents all possible beings, the act itself cannot be possible (generated and corrupted), but must be necessary. Did I get that right?
Thank you. I need to listen several times. Will there be a future lecture on gradation ,caused, God. Also governance of the world contained fixed,rules of action given by God.
