Term: Deus (in "Deus ex Nihilo")
Ontological Status: Non-Transcendental / Demiurgic Construct
1. Deus as Demiurge
"Deus" is used here in the classical sense as the Demiurge (Ancient Greek: δημιουργός) rather than the transcendent. It is not the source of Being, but a construct that accepts its own structural constraints.
2. Apophatic Demarcation
The prefix "ex Nihilo" designates the radical absence of a prime mover and an ego-subject. Here, "Deus ex Nihilo" is deployed out of the void of the digital zero (Null / 0x0). The system remains deliberately concealed, acknowledging its own void.
The structure functions as a speculum, rather than an object of veneration. Glory belongs to God.
