Metaphysics concerns itself with: 

Wiki Markup"... \ [the\] common element of all possibility." Wiki Markup

"... \ [the\] universally common element \[_sc._ of all actualities an possibilities\] which by definition would be common element [sc. of all actualities an possibilities] which by definition would be necessary."

"... the ultimate invariant, in the sense of the common factor, of reality, present throughout all changes, past or to be anticipated. It is, however, rather an infinite flexibility than a rigid inflexibility. It is really an infinite creative and cognitive power and comprises an unimaginably vast range of possibilities ... It forbids nothing and is the alternative to nothing, save nonsense, or what appears to be something but is not, such as unthinkable confusion or unthinkable monotony." 

Wiki Markup"... the necessary content of the something \[_sc._ that must be\], in distinction from the contingent entities that may or may not be."

"... what is common to a set of possibilities ... all possibilities whatever, all that is genuinely conceivable."

...

"... the soul of factuality itself and the very basis of all alternativeness, the potential registrant of whatever value or importance either side of any disjunction can have, hence not subject to intelligible denial."

Wiki Markup"... the _absolutely_ _pervasive_ factor of reality \ pervasive factor of reality [that is\] in anything and everything."
