[For Christians, “God Recognizing Himself” is experienced as “three persons in one God”.

Does Christian witness follow categorical logic?

Yes.

“Recognizing3” is a normal context characteristic of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is Recognition3 personified. “Recognizing3” matches transcendence.

God the Father2 and God the Son2 (are actualities that) emerge from “the possibility of God Recognizing Himself1“.

“God the Father2“ is “the One who Recognizes2“. “God the Son2” is “the One who is Recognized2“. Both are experienced as persons. “Father and Son2” matches immanence, even though, from a Greek perspective, the Father appears similar to Zeus.

For Christians, “the possibility of God recognizing Himself1” is a realm of unknowing. It has no name because it cannot be a person. After all, this is the realm of possibility. In fact, this is All Potential Itself.

“All Possibility1“, in the context of “Recognizing3“, matches the term “mysterious”.]
