The specific element in a being which communicates itself to the indeterminate or less determinate element and together with this matter or substratum constitutes the whole being.

Frankly, I can't make head nor tail of that definition. I do recall that our philosophy professor used as an illustration of different types of causality the act of switching on a light: material cause -- the generation power and wiring; efficient cause -- act of switching the light on; final cause -- to have light; and formal cause -- the laws of electricity.

I just can't mentally make the last jibe with the definition given.

Mad Dawgg, can you help me out?
