Naming: Concrete definition.

Naming: concrete definition.

By recognizing, understanding, and defining God's laws concretely, we are able to refer to a law, a group of laws, or a system of relationships between laws by a single name.

Genesis 1:5

A name is, in practice, a keyword that may connect multiple concepts and may also contain the system of relationships between multiple definitions.

The first act of naming in the Bible is the naming of Light and Darkness as Daytime and Night. Darkness is unconscious existence, within which the presence of the laws was named waters, as the unknown laws existing unconsciously. Depth, in turn, is the name given to the relationships between the laws that exist unconsciously—the network of relationships.

Consciousness begins to come to know the laws that exist unconsciously and the network of relationships between them, and whatever it comes to know becomes Light. Because consciousness identifies with what it comes to know, the laws and relationships that have become Light become a consciously existing I through the process of knowing. This conscious I receives the name Daytime, while the totality of all laws and all relationships that exist receives the name Night. In reality, Daytime emerges from Night, while Night always remains the same. Darkness has neither kinds nor variations, because everything is contained within the unconscious.

Information that has become conscious, however, can appear in many different forms, and thus additional networks of relationships between the laws can appear.

These different variations, each assigned a distinct name, represent one specific variation, and this is the essence of naming.

This can be imagined in the same way as the name of a program or a function. Names do not represent individual laws, but rather some combination of multiple laws, their form of manifestation, and the manifestation of the network of relationships they create.

A name may refer to a single specific law, to the relationships between laws, or to the simultaneous presence of multiple laws.

The essence of naming is that whatever we name always has the same meaning and always has the same content, just as the content of a function does not change simply because it is used in multiple places. The content associated with the name remains constant, and the name enables us to refer to that content.
