Subsequent attempts by Castoriadis at formalizing the notion of magma were not successful. According to logician Athanassios Tzouvaras, the properties of a magma that Castoriadis proposed were either unformalizable or inconsistent (see Athanassios Tzouvaras, "Sets with dependent elements: Elaborating on Castoriadis' notion of 'magma'" [n.d.]).
