"I was never thinking of a region of physical substance or space, but for lack of available language I chose the word aether and I can't think of an alternative at the moment."

OK. So "ideal forms" are NOT in "a region of physical substance or space". Outside of matter and space what else is there?!
Let me know when you find or remember where you originally discovered it and we can discuss it further.

After we locate where you believe the "ideal forms" to be we can proceed to get your opinion on whether the "ideal forms" are made of either space or matter, and--if neither...of what?

Other questions to consider:

Is there an ideal form for each person (perhaps attached to a hypothesized "soul" or "spirit")?

Or is there one ideal form to match each virtue word in the latest and largest alphabet or language?

Or is there an ideal form matching one to one with an optimal number of virtue terms (say in the Aramaic tongue) of (say) exactly 40?

Or do the "ideal forms" come in and out of existence as cultures come into being and pass and as languages expand and contract or are superceded by others?

As some future philosopher or theologian in an expanded language enumerates additional virtues (in accordance with his cultural bent) such as honoring computers or machines or whatever, will additional "ideal forms" spring into existence or non existence (or whatever it is they are coming from and going to) or will the philosopher or theologian simply be thinking too much about things?
