Omnipotence/action type/Gombocz: the action must but logically possible, i.e. its description must be coherent. >Actions.
Fact omnipotence: the ability to generate a logically possible state of affairs. (therefore not in the past). >States of affairs.
Continuum omnipotence: the ability to create any situation in time thje time after t0 - e.g. an unmarried person may now not be divorced. - Then there are only logically necessary situations. - Nothing Unintentional may be intended. - Therefore restriction to the contingent. >Situations, >Contingency.
Problem: omnipotent beings should also be capable of inconsistencies or be able to cause something uncaused.
Omnipotence must also include the ability, to get rid of this ability.
Consequence: this ability can be exercised only once. >Omniscience.
