This paper adapts an essential aspect of Aristotle's concept of 'aitiai' suggesting an analogous interpretation in new media 'Genetic art' theory called the 'Proto - animate Condition.' I argue that fundamentally, causal properties underlying the concept of aitiai are characteristically pending action requisites and that this property is somewhat analogous to the causal properties of proto – animation.
