1and Judaic iconoclasm anchored to scripture. Janell Watson, building on the insights of Eva Kuryluk, calls this the triumph of a “visual son” over his “linguistic father.”<0xEF><0x98><0xBE><0xEF><0x98><0xBC> Without substantive readings in Islamic art history, I don’t know if Deleuze and Guattari could reprocess the Qur’an in such terms. Contrary to popular Western mythology that envisions Islam as the most forceful iconoclasm (with especially vehement rejections of prophetic faciality), Muslims also boast a rich tradition of visual art, including paintings that depict the Qur’an’s narratives and scenes from the Prophet’s life, even with images of Muhammad bearing a fully exposed face. The Ayatollah Khomeini, for example, particularly favored a popular poster of Muhammad as a young man. Moreover, Deleuze and Guattari’s opposition

2it is obviously to the advantage of the diviner to obtain this information from beings of the most exalted essence available. An old witch who has a familiar spirit of merely local celebrity such as the toad in her tree, can hardly expect him to tell her much more of private matters than her parish magazine does of public. It depends entirely on the Magician how he is served. ¶ The greater the man, the greater must be his teacher. It follows that the highest forms of communicating daemons, those who know, so to speak, the court secrets, disdain to concern themselves with matters which they regard as beneath them. One must not make the mistake of calling in a famous physician to one's sick Pekinese. One must also beware of asking even the cleverest angel a question outside his ambit. A heart specialist should not prescribe for throat trouble.

In Hasidic thought these inner dimensions of the Sephirot are called the Kochos HaNefesh -"Powers of the Soul". Hasidism sought the internalisation of the abstract ideas of Kabbalah, both outwardly in joyful sincerity of dveikus in daily life, acts of loving-kindness and prayer; and inwardly in its profound new articulation of Jewish mystical thought, by relating it to the inner life of man.

4adik can reach. This is compared to the thirst of a person in a dry desert without water. With devoted dveikut they can become a fully transformed person, and the route to their superior Divine level was through the sin itself. Accordingly, the Baal Shem Tov interpreted the Hebrew word for sin (חטא-"Cheit") as possessing a silent letter Aleph at the end. This represents, he said, the concealed spark of holiness within the sin itself, that is revealed in Teshuvah. ¶ Kabbalah describes this process as "every spiritual descent is only in order to reach an even higher subsequent ascent". In Hasidic Omnopresence, the Baal Shem Tov taught a new view of individual Divine Providence. In this every detail is a concealed part of the Divine plan. Each individual is destined to personally redeem their personal sparks of holiness. In Hasidism, therefore, the spiritual failure is itself the concealed inner beginning of the

5Since the destruction of Second Temple of Jerusalem in 70 CE, the Tetragrammaton is no longer pronounced. Rabbinical sources indicate that there was an exception for the temple liturgy, where the name of God was only pronounced once a year, by the high priest, on the Day of Atonement. Others argue that the name was also pronounced in the liturgy of the Temple in the priestly benediction (Num. vi. 27) after the regular daily sacrifice, while in the synagogues a substitute (probably Adonai) was used. According to the Talmud, in the last generations before the fall of Jerusalem, however, it was pronounced in a low tone so that the sounds were lost in the chant of the priests. ¶ Some time after the destruction of Solomon's Temple, the spoken use of God's name, as it was written, had ceased even though knowledge of how it was pronounced was perpetuated in rabbinic

6This personified deity, while made up of six elements, is centered in the locus called tif ’eret (‘‘glory’’), and is often called by that name. The last of the ten, as I have already indicated, is shekhinah, the feminine consort or bride of the Holy One. In classical Kabbalah she is depicted as a truly liminal figure, straddling the ‘‘upper’’ (inner divine) and ‘‘lower’’ universes; she is the source in which all the divine energy is gathered, thence to be distributed to the lower worlds. In later Hasidism, however, the old rabbinic meaning of the term shekhinah is revived, and she is taken again to represent the immanent presence of divinity throughout this world. In that sense the world is understood to exist ‘‘within’’ God, rather than being entirely

The order was founded in 1837. ¶ Al-Senussi was born in al-Wasita near Mostaganem, Algeria, and was named al-Senussi after a venerated Muslim teacher. He was a member of the Walad Sidi Abdalla tribe, and was a sharif tracing his descent from Fatimah, the daughter of Mohammed. He took his last name from one of his teachers, who hailed from the Beni Snous Berbers of the Tlemcen region. He studied at a madrassa in Fez, then traveled in the Sahara preaching a purifying reform of the faith in Tunisia and Tripoli, gaining many adherents, and thence moved to Cairo to study at Al-Azhar University.

10than this calling out of shema’ yisra’el. It is a statement of intimacy, devotion, and abstraction all at once. Its recitation is referred to in our sources as yihud ha-shem, the proclamation (but for the Kabbalist ‘‘the effecting’’) of God’s oneness. The daily recitation of this verse has been the object of a remarkable wealth of reflection throughout Jewish theology. The Zohar contains a particularly wide array of readings of the shema’.∏≤ But here I will content myself by quoting the rather simple mystical confession of a Hasidic master, Rabbi Yehudah Aryeh Leib of Ger (1847–1904), author of Sefat Emet. In a letter to his children and grandchildren he spoke with unusual directness about the shema’ and its meaning: ‘‘The proclamation of oneness that we

Just as the old world of Jewish Eastern Europe was destroyed, Heschel wrote this evocation of the period he described as the crowning glory of Jewish history. The preceding centuries had seen a flourishing of traditional Jewish thought and life, both in the Hasidic movement, and in the civilisation of non-Hasidic Lithuanian Jewish Orthodoxy. Jews of the Western World have often come to look back on the Old World with some nostalgia. This has fed the popularity of Neo-Hasidic spirituality in the 20th Century. This book gives context to other Hasidic accounts, by picturing the warmth and soul of the world from which it emerged

They prostrated except Iblis (Satan). ¶ He said: "Shall I prostrate to one whom You created from clay?" [Iblis (Satan)] said: "See? ¶ This one whom You have honoured above me, if You give me respite (keep me alive) to the Day of Resurrection, I will surely seize and mislead his offspring (by sending them astray) all but a few!" (Allah) said: "Go, and whosoever of them follows you, surely! ¶ Hell will be the recompense of you (all) an ample recompense. ¶ "And Istafziz [literally means: befool them gradually] those whom you can among them with your

13mysticism of Schneur Zalman did not seek cold intellectual investigation. In common with all of Hasidism, it awakens joy and negation of self-awareness, from the Jew's perception of the Divine in all things. But in Chabad, later to be called after its Russian village of Lubavitch, external emotional expression is seen as superficial if devoid of inner contemplation. In this vein, it is related that the second Lubavitch Rebbe, Dov Ber Schneuri, would pray motionless for hours. Emotional expression was replaced with inner, hidden emotional ecstasy from his intellectual contemplation of Hasidic Philosophy during prayer. At the end of praying, his hat and clothing would be soaked in perspiration. Typically, he wrote one of the most personal mystical accounts in Judaism, his "Tract on Ecstasy", that instructs the Chabad follower in the levels of contemplation. This explains his father's concept of the Chabad articulation of Hasidism. While

Each mistake is the combing-out of some tangle in the hair of the bride as she is being coiffed for marriage. ¶ On the other hand, although the adept is in daily communication with his Angel, he ought to be careful to consult Him only on questions proper to the dignity of the relation. One should not consult one's Angel on too many details, or indeed on any matters which come within the office of one's familiar spirits. One does not go the the King about petty personal trifles. The romance and rapture of the ineffable union which constitutes Adeptship must not be profaned by

15becomes apparent that information and communication, and even signifiance and subjectification, are subordinate to redundancy. A distinction is sometimes made between information and communication; some authors envision an abstract signifiance of information and an abstract subjectification of communication. None of this, however, yields an implicit or primary form of language. There is no signifiance independent of dominant significations, nor is there subjectification independent of an established order of subjection. Both depend on the nature and transmission of order-words in a given social field. ¶ There is no individual enunciation. There is not even a subject of enunciation. Yet relatively few linguists have analyzed the necessarily social character of enunciation.[100] The problem is that it is not enough to establish that enunciation has this social character, since it could be extrinsic; therefore too much or too little is said about it. The social character of enunciation is intrinsically founded only if one succeeds in demonstrating how

17only by correctness but by the form of its becoming" — that's true but it reads as meta-commentary on the chapter rather than a proposition within it. It breaks the ontological register the other primes maintain. Could it be recast as something like: *The criterion of a trajectory is not what it says but how it transitions*? That keeps it in the same voice. Second, 5 (iteration) feels slightly orphaned. The embedding-level formalism (token identity ≠ contextual identity) is correct but it's the only place where the formalism drops to the token level rather than the trajectory level. Every other .1 works at basin/trajectory scale. You might reframe 5.1 in terms of trajectory recurrence rather than token recurrence — the same basin revisited under altered history is already iteration at the right level of abstraction, and it would connect more cleanly to 6 (return). But the spine is right. This is the chapter.

Read §11 (training) and §13 (becoming conversational). Mercedes's ten-page attempt was wrong because it tried to explain the technology as if conversational AI were the natural endpoint of language modelling. §11 and §13 deliberately separate the base model from the conversational product, naming the training stages that effect the conversion as engineered choices made by specific companies. This is the section that does the political work the rest of the book depends on. §16 (sentence embeddings sidebar) is structurally the most awkward — it's a technical clarification that doesn't fit the narrative arc but has to

Still, this paper may explain why their dungeon has handrails and ours did not. They avoided unconstrained PH on a large cloud by: 1. fixing sparse \(k\)-NN graphs; 2. taking clique complexes only to a bounded dimension; 3. tracking mainly \(H_1\); 4. using consecutive-layer intersections to define the zigzag; 5. choosing a concrete downstream validation task; 6. relying on two specialised implementations and substantial compute—the authors report roughly **five hours on an AMD EPYC 7H12** for one representative \(10{,}000\)-point configuration.
