unactualized
Remained purely theoretical
Unactualized describes potential that remains unrealized or dormant—capabilities, possibilities, or states that exist but haven't been brought into being.
A person's unactualized talents never develop; an unactualized plan stays on paper.
The term appears in philosophy and psychology, often contrasting with what has been made real: Her unactualized ambitions haunted her.
