1the thing between the two, like the hot, the cold, and the lukewarm. ¶ From oddness the odd numbers be- come manifest and from “two” the even numbers. Each number must be either even or odd, and so on ad infinitum. Through the power of the one the prop- erties of the numbers become manifest, and the property belongs to “God, the One, the All-subjugating” (12:39, etc.). Were He not named by contrary names, He would not have been named “All-sub- jugating”—since it is impossible for any created thing to stand up to Him. Hence He is only “All-subjugating” in respect of the fact that He is named by contrary names. None stands up to Him but He, for He is the Exalter and the Abaser,

2than the systematic usage of a letter, to reduce, to reserve for the letter its signifying function in order to make there repose on it, and on it alone, the whole logical edifice, we arrive at this very simple thing that it is altogether and quite simply, that this comes back to what happens when we charge the letter a, for example, if we set about speculating on the alphabet, with representing as letter a all the other letters of the alphabet. ¶ It must be one thing or the other: either we enumerate the other letters of the alphabet from b to z, which means that the letter a will represent them unambiguously without for all that being included itself; but it is clear that on the other hand, representing these letters of the alphabet qua letter, it comes quite naturally I would not even say to enrich but to complete at the place from which we have withdrawn, excluded it, the series of

Every level must have inhabitants whose properties will be in keeping with the level.” Hence He made some parts of the cosmos more ex- cellent than others. ¶ The root of this in the divine things (al- ilahiyyat) is the divine names. How can the compass (ihdta) of Knowing compare with that of Desiring and Powerful? For Knowing is distinguished from Desiring, and Desiring from Powerful, by the level of that to which connection is established. Knowing has the most inclusive compass, so it is greater and more excellent than Desiring and Powerful, through some- thing which neither of them possesses in respect of being Desiring and Powerful. For He knows Himself, but

(II 198.28) ¶ Ibn al-‘Arabi summarizes the re- ¶ lationship between noble and base char- acter traits in the following Passage: ¶ The Prophet said, “I was sent to com- plete the noble character traits.” “Noble character traits” in works and states are relative (idaft). The reason for this is that people, who are the locus of noble charac- ter traits, have two states: free (hurr) and servant (‘abd). ¶ Character traits are cither Praiseworthy, and these are named noble character traits, or blameworthy, and _ these are named base character traits. Those in rela- tion to whom noble and base

5have any qual- ities? Rational proof negates that He should have any. . . . But if God should embody these meanings in the Presence of Imaginalization—like knowledge in the form of milk—then this knowledge can be attained through unveiling. (II 291.30) ¶ When the misbelievers were invited to the profession of the Unity of God, they replied, “‘What, has he made the gods One God?’ This is indeed a marvelous thing” (38:5). People understand the sentence, “This is indeed a marvelous thing,” as the words of the misbelievers, since the Prophet had invited them to profess the Unity of God, but they be- lieved that the gods were many. But in our view, this sentence represents the words of the Real or the words of the Messenger

6situation is indi- cated by the words of Aba Bakr: “I have newer seen Tani without seeing God ¶ efore it. ence he that thing emerged. “aw from whence ¶ The possessor of this unveiling is “ever- creating” (khallaq), and that is what the Real desires from him through this un- veiling. Or rather, he comes to know through this unveiling that he is ever-cre- ating and has always been such, though he was not aware. His unveiling gives him knowledge of the actual situation. He does not become ever-creating through the unveiling. ¶ God commands the person who has this unveiling to “give each thing its due” in its form, just as God “gave each thing its creation” in its form. Then no claim will be directed against him by any cre- ated thing, just as no

Hence, though there are many kinds of “poles” (qutb)—those friends of God around whom various realities of the universe turn—Ibn al-‘Arabi calls the absolute Pole (al-qutb), around whom ¶ turns the whole of the cosmos, ‘Abd Allah and ‘Abd al-Jami‘ (“Servant of the All-comprehensive”)." These two names refer respectively to the Pole’s essential and accidental perfections, which are as near as possible to being identical, since the “All-comprehensive” is both a name of God and the name of the name Allah, so it and Allah are practically syn

8the names become desig- nated, so we dress Him in the form of splendor. Within Him the names be manifest, so splendor subsists in Hir He is the Named. (IV 419.3) ¶ The divine name is the spirit of its effect, while its effect is its form. Sight cannot see the name, only its effect which is its form. Thus, when a person sees the corporeal form of Zayd, he say correctly that he saw Zayd, without any interpretation (ta wil). His words are true, even though Zayd has an unseen governing spirit (rah mudabbir), while that spirit has a form which is his corporeality. So the effects of the divine names are the forms of the names. He who witnesses the forms says truly that he has witnessed the names. (II 49

9to be able to see the function of phantasy. This possibility, articulated repeatedly in a work like the Devil's Elixir, but locatable in so many other authors, of the major effect of fiction, this effect in the effective current of existence is what remains we can say at the state of phantasy. And what is phantasy taken from this angle if not - which we have some doubts about - ein Wunsch, a wish and even, like all wishes, rather naive. To express it rather humorously, I would say that S desire of o, the formula of the phantasy, can be translated, in this perspective, that the Other faints, swoons, I would say, before this object that I am, a deduction made from the fact that I see myself. ¶ Here then, because I cannot avoid posing things like that in an apodictic way,

115.28, 430.4, IV 210.18; Mu‘jam 426- ¶ 7. ¶ 17. Cf. I1 57.6: “The first of the divine names is the One/Unique (al-wahid al-ahad), which is a single, compound name, just as Ba‘lbak, Ramhurmuz, and al-rahman al-rahim (The All-merciful/All-compassionate) are compound. By it we do not mean two names. The One/Unique is the first of the names because . . . it denotes the Essence It- self, without any relationship by which It is described, just like concrete names for things. There is nothing more exact as a proper name, since it is a name of the Essence. . . . You

This sec- ond Nature is to the first as the daughter is to the woman who is the mother; like her mother, she gives birth, even if she is a daughter born from her. _ (III 420.15) ¶ scan page 165 The Supreme Barzakh ¶ Nature in relation to the Real is like the female in relation to the male, since within it becomes manifest engendering, i.e., the engendering of everything other than God. It is an intelligible reality. ¶ When some people saw the power of Nature’s authority and did not know that this power lies only in its reception to that which the Real engenders within it, they attributed and ascribed the engen- dering to Nature itself

13the unary trait comes into play. The primary identification at this starting point constituted by the fact of being able to say one and one, and one again, and one again and that it is always from a one that one must begin, it is starting from there - the schema of the article in question outlines it - starting from there that there is established the possibility of the recognition as such of the unit called i(o). This i(o) is given in specular experience; but as I told you, this specular experience is authenticated by the Other and as such, at the level of the sign i(o). Remember my schema, I cannot here give you again the terms of the amusing little physics experiment which I made use of to be able to image it for you: i'(o) which is the virtual image of a real image, at the level of this virtual image, nothing appears here. ¶ I

14the gods of old have become the internal conflicts of the single deity, forcing a complexity in the divine personality not required by the earlier formulations.∫ This new situation created by monotheism is given subtle but dramatic expression in the generic Hebrew term for ‘‘god,’’ elohim. As anyone who knows even a bit of Hebrew will recognize, elohim is a plural form; its primary meaning is ‘‘gods.’’ There is a singular, eloha, but this form is almost never used in the Bible. When speaking about non-Israelite (or ‘‘false’’) deities, elohim is treated as a full plural, requiring the use of plural verbs and adjectives, as in elohim aherim (Ex. 20:3), ‘‘other gods.’’ But when applied to the God of Israel, elohim is treated as though singular, as in bereshit bara’

Knowledge comes only through tastings. That is what we call “knowl- edge.” (II 473.29) ¶ It could be imagined that when man possesses the knowledge of something, he possesses the “tasting” of it, but such is ¶ not the case. Tasting derives only from a self-disclosure. Knowledge may be gained through the transmission of a truc, sound report. (II 546.5) ¶ Often Ibn al-‘Arabi speaks of tasting as a knowledge connected more to sp

19Likewise, merely adding **Moment 2** does not prevent collapse. If the new cocone still requires equality of branch images, the collapse remains. What must change is the semantic target and the preservation law. A rigorous positive construction could take one of several forms: ### 1. Graph-valued history Represent: ```text tt ──yes-edge──▶ yes └──no-edge───▶ no ``` Here common origin is encoded by two distinct edges, not by equality of endpoints. ### 2. Path-sensitive dependent type ```agda record Branch : Set where field endpoint : Meaning 1 history : PathFrom tt endpoint ``` Then `yes` and `no` can remain distinct while both terms carry ancestry from `tt`. ### 3.
