Distinction is System.

Each of the levels has human's view (God's self's view - one perspective) defer to God's view (all perspectives). This deference is expressed from 4 angles, 2 angles, 1 angle or 0 angles depending on whether it is understood to occur beyond the system or within the system. Generally, it is the deference of one to all.

Distinction

• FourfoldDistinction
• TwofoldDistinction
• OnefoldDistinction
• NullfoldDistinction

• A FourfoldDistinction (by which coinciding means going beyond oneself into) distinguishes between all and one. Manifests the nature of Spirit.
• A TwofoldDistinction (by which coinciding means being part of) distinguishes between one and none, presuming all. Manifests the nature of Structure.
• A OnefoldDistinction (by which coinciding means channeling) distinguishes between all and none, presuming one. Manifests the nature of Representation.
• A NullfoldDistinction (by which coinciding means presuming) distinguishes between all and one, presuming none. Manifests the nature of Unity.

The FourfoldDistinction is between All and Not One, One and Not All. Not means step towards and one goes beyond oneself into the stepping towards itself. All and One are spirit, and Not takes us into structure or takes us out of structure. Going beyond oneself is in terms of spirit and in terms of structure, hence there is a fourfold distinction.

The expression is understood ever more tightly as the nature of the conjunction is ever more presumed through syntax, as expressed in PrimaryStructures given by Distinctions. The complete expression in PrimaryStructures leads to the collapse of the statement with regard to their absence, yielding Everything and Divisions, and to their taking up of the position through their presence, which they express by way of an Other and SecondaryStructures. The basic Divisions accord with the Divergences, the former assuming Everything, the latter not.

The Fourfold Divergence makes this explicit so that we may consider a divergence explicitly as a distinction by which we distinguish that which coincides.

A human is able to consider God's point of view as Everything. Then distinctions allow for wishes and PrimaryStructures. Then divisions of everything allow for the redundancy within structure that is Love and is expressed in the SecondaryStructures.

Note: These are not as such divisions of everything because as yet there is no Everything, there is no completeness, and so they are prior to Divisions, they are simply distinguishing and not yet dividing. Taken together these distinctions are a division of everything, the Eightsome, which is however unstable as a structure (because it contains the nullfold distinction) and so collapses into an empty system in which all things are true, which is to say, the Nullsome. In fact, from this perspective, as of yet there is no Everything, and indeed Everything arises by way of this collapse into the Nullsome.

Note:This is itself the fourfold distinction:

• going beyond oneself = complete
• being part of = familiar
• channeling = unobstructed
• presuming = unified

Note:If views coincide (all and one coincide) then note that the being part of and the channeling are not relevant for distinction between all and one and so we are left with presuming which is relevant.

The NullfoldDistinction makes for a collapse because spirit (God) is taken to be a distinguished opposite of structure (Everything) which counters the assumption of the FourfoldDistinction that they are equal in stature.
