Virtuality
Virtuality is the property of a thing not to exist in the form in which it appears to exist, but to resemble a thing existing in this form in its essence or its effect. Virtuality therefore means an imaginary entity that is present in its functionality or effect.
The word leads back via the French term virtuel (able to work, possible) back to the Latin word virtus (virtue, bravery, ability, strength, masculinity).
In the modern understanding, virtuality also alludes to the sphere of possibility , if one takes some meanings of the adjective virtual as a basis, such as “available as a possibility according to its nature” and “understanding the possibility of something in itself”.
