Compossibility

Compossibility (from Latin componere , 'to put together') is a philosophical concept of relation that states that different substances or propositions are possible at the same time, i.e. compatible with regard to their real possibility . According to Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz , who coined this term, not everything (human) thinkable is actually composable; the world, however (which, according to Leibniz, is the best of all possible worlds) is the epitome of everything that is composable.
