Note on the name: In addition to the origin story, Aleph is also the first letter in Arabic and Hebrew (א, ا)


Which represents the “breath of life”, and all possible things it can become.


The ultimate "Initial commit". Care to share some reading on this that you found interesting/intriguing/enlightening?


Kabbalah and the associated mysteries; BOTA has great coursework on the tarot that teaches to the Hebrew roots.

To me the tetragrammaton is a logical proof that approximates an “initial commit”.


I'm an outsider that doesn't have much knowledge about faith, please humor me.

I looked up "Tetragrammaton" since I never heard of it[0], but I don't see how it would consist of a logical proof, I don't quite understand the significance. How do you reach your approximation from the tetragrammaton?

The tetragrammaton is a 4-letter name of God, and a conceptualization of

- somethingness

- becoming observable/“contrasty”

- germinating

- and becoming self-aware (and an applied practice)

Like a stack overflow of reality. It is one of many names of God in Hebrew.

This essentially represents “the all”, as we can understand it. It’s interesting how ancient alphabets were built on base concepts and interactions. They have a sort of philosophy to them.

Markov chain text generation is pretty wild, because we now can build computer systems that endlessly generate their own many-letter “names of God”. God has many names in Hebrew; everything is a name of God, so to speak, like a DNA sequence.
