Actual: existing in act and not merely potentiality. (Webster's)

Whatever term was used here was going to be problematic and possess the potential for an entire conference on its usage alone. This term, "actual", is what "virtual" is not, it is the other, of the "virtual". It is to "love" what "hate" is, which aptly describes the relationship I have with this term.

If there is another term that you think is more appropriate, or happened to write your dissertation on this question, e-mail me.
