How to use "Possibility" in context?
When viewed in context "possibility" takes on many meanings. In mathematics it is the standing of a set of propositions asserting the existence of a property assigned to a member of the set. In philosophy it refers to the potentiality of an event or state. In science it denotes the likelihood that a particular outcome will occur as a result of a specific set of circumstances.
And finally, in our everyday lives, possibility often denotes the ability to do or have something. For example, when we ask someone if they would like to eat at the new Italian restaurant down the street, we're talking about the possibility of their dining at the restaurant.
