The introduction of microvita into a teleodynamic field theory raises an immediate ontological problem. If microvita are granted real selective efficacy, does the field remain self-regulating, or is its development now externally steered by subtle agents? Yet the opposite option is no less problematic: if microvita possess merely fixed intrinsic dispositions without feedback from the field, their role becomes static and theoretically inert. This essay argues that both alternatives must be rejected. Microvita are neither external controllers nor isolated entities. Their efficacy is recursively coupled to the semantic field itself: field structure shapes microvitic selectivity, while microvitic selectivity modulates which latent potentials of the field become historically effective.
