In the eternal generation of the Son & procession of the Spirit, the economic trinity manifests the

immanent trinity.

The non-determinate Creator gifts (originates or speaks) ...

the uncreated, transcendent, trans-determinate Logos (norms) mediated by ...

the empowering Spirit to ...

the determinate creation, the order of which thus presents as an harmonious, telic configuration
of pluralities.

This manifestation of the economic trinity exhausts what can be said of the immanent trinity.

Apart from the creative act & divine energeia, which reveal an extrinsic, relational, trinitarian
divine esse intentionale ...

we can attribute nothing determinate, intrinsically or essentially, to the trinitarian divine esse
naturale in its aseity.

While being, reality & existence refer to creatures, only being & reality refer to the Creator, a
non-existent.

The divine esse naturale (intrinsic, essential being of God) remains trans-formally distinct from
the divine esse intentionale (extrinsic, relational reality of God).

I thus eisegetically adapt Neville's creatio ex nihilo & Yong's pneumatology in my own meta-
heuristic.
