Contingency and necessity are co-implicated with no ontological priority between them.

Evidence

Contingency and necessity support one another in such a way that spirit is free from their division and can simply let go its two-sided claim: it could have been otherwise, it could not have been otherwise. It would be futile to want to determine some ontological priority of essence over accident, or accident over essence, for their co-implication is primary. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 1114

Categorization

• XREF: The letting-go of both ‘it could have been otherwise’ and ‘it could not have been otherwise’ mirrors the double gesture of plasticity — receiving the given form while resisting the forced determinism that would make it fixed. — connects to: Contingency is the inexplicable, pointless thisness of things — Sarah Bakewell, At the Existentialist Café: Freedom,…, 336; Necessity cannot be derived from possibility because possibility is epistemic, not ontological.; The Other’s existence is a contingent but unprovable necessity.

• DEEPTHINKING: The refusal to assign priority to either essence or accident is a foundational logical move that reconfigures how causality itself is understood in the System.
