I think that dynamis, in philosophy, refers to agents of power.
Like, bricks have the potential to come together as a wall, but the power to move and arrange them is the dynamis - the builder.

But philosophy is kind of dumb. Like, duh. The builder has the power to create something from material. But it's the material that "energizes and validates" the builder's agency. They're not building anything without it. Right? Meaning they're not a builder.

In FF11, "Dynamis" is the name of this dream realm ruled by the Terrestrial Avatar Diabolos. The point of this realm was to serve as an exit. After the meltdown event, life was barely hanging on by a thread. It wasn't a lack of will power but the fact that the planet just couldn't sustain life the way it had before.
