Plotinus inherits the Pythagorean idea of tolma, which inheres at all levels of generated beings in the Enneads from Intellect to sensible matter thus establishing itself as an irrational mark within a rational metaphysics. Alongside tolma, a second source of irrationality is soul's polupragmatic nature a nature that connotes a pejorative busyness or restlessness. As Armstrong points out, Plotinus' use of tolma, a 'very Gnostic-sounding word', has a demonstrable Hellenic philosophical history underlying it. In fact, intellect remains doubtful if even this desire to possess everything is tolmatic for this stems from an integrative urge that accomplishes the noetic unity inherent in Intellect's one-many. The tolmatic restless nature of the hypostasis soul triggers, yet also tempers the lush fecundity of the genesis at hand. Tolma now gains a 'metaphysical and moral character'. As Torchia notes, Plotinus "inserts" will into emanation itself, thus providing an 'interesting metaphysical innovation'.
