Possibility is a feminine noun that expresses the property or condition of something that it's possible or that can be or happen.
When used in the plural, this word can mean a person's set of assets or financial capacity. For example: He was part of a very humble family, with few possibilities.
Within the scope of math, the study of possibilities refers to the combinatorial analysis, and is the combination of several possible scenarios. This area of study can be applied in various aspects such as computer programming, economics, among others.
According to Aristotle, the concept of dynamis reveals a new possibility that matter has to transform itself into something other than what it is and opposes energy (act), the source of achievement.
For rationalism, possibility is equivalent to rationality, and it refers to what happens in thought processes and corresponds to the non-contradictory.
Legal possibility of request
In the field of law, more specifically of procedural law, the legal possibility of the request consisted of one of the three conditions of the action.
In some cases, a particular request may be considered legally impossible to comply with. A possible example is when someone files for divorce in a country where divorce is not legally allowed. In many cases, legal impossibility is verified when there is a transgression in relation to morals and good customs and not in relation to the law.
In order to increase the yield of each process, the bill 166/2010 removed the legal possibility of the request from the list of conditions of action.
