Hegel replaces teleological act-potentiality appearing with linear sensory sequence
Evidence
From this point on, the play of appearing and disappearing is not guided teleologically by the move between act and potentiality. Instead it follows the linear movement of presence from sequence to sequence. It is as if an alternating current changing from one sensory moment to another has replaced the mode of appearing controlled by the different intensities of light frequencies. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 877
