Wiki MarkupWhitehead is clear in saying that "the primordial nature of God \ [_sc._ the ideal realization of potentialities in a primordial actual entity\] constitutes the metaphysical stability whereby the actual process exemplifies general principles of metaphysics, and attains the ends proper to specific types of emergent order" (40 \ [64\]). He also says, explicitly confirming the second point, that "'God' is the actuality in the world, in virtue of which there is physical 'law'" (283 \ [434\]).unmigrated-wiki-markup

It seems only fitting, then, that Whitehead should allude to God as "the timeless source of all \ [_sc_. physical as well as metaphysical\] order" (32 \ [47\]).
