++++The Paradox of Emanation Theories; Self-Negating Tautology; Self Consuming Metaphysics/Ontology; The Paradox of Hierarchies
All Emanation theories requires a process of "greater than" relations by degree of movement from source. This requires a hierarchy.
If X > Y > Z than with the variables removed a recursive operation ensues as ">>", where 'greater than' is greater than 'greater than', as X > Y and Y > Z but Y and Z not greater than X and yet Y is greater than Z.
The necessity of the recursive operation is determined by the presence of the sequence of variables by which the operation of 'greater than' is continuous and as continuous is subject to a higher order chain of the operation itself where by degree of recursion it effectively operates on itself at a meta level.
In these respects a continual gradation of "greater than", by degree of the variables it relates from which "greater than" derives identity as an operator, occurs resulting in in > =/= >.
The operator derives it's identity via the operand as the operator exists as the operator because of the operation on the operand. Without the operand the operator ceases as there is no operation given nothing to operate on this voiding the operator in identity by degree of function.
If the operator exists independently on its own terms than by degree it contradicts itself in identitive function as the definition is composed of sub definitions that exist independently on there own terms thus the operator cannot be considered an individual identity but rather a derived set of relations; if the individual identity is a derived set of relations than by default identity is relational and as such the identity of the operator cannot be viewed individually.
In this context the statement X>Y>Z becomes nonsensical as a self-consuming tautological chain.
In these respects Emanation becomes a logical self-negation and metaphysical self-consumption expressed through non self identification as non equality of self identity of the operator itself, in logical terms, and the process of gradation in a metaphysical/ontological sense. By default the nature of hierarchy is a self-contradicting structure.
