[“What does “the One Who Recognizes” see in “The One Who Is Recognized”?

Let me start by positing this: “The Recognizer sees some Object in the Recognized”.

Technically, for the Triune God, this Object must be the formal cause or “formal design” of the Holy Spirit.

The formal design answers the question: Why Recognition?

(And that question echoes through the dyad as: Why Existence?)]
