Stress-test transcription (schema generalization check). Underlying Targum rendering is machine-assisted, so every node is draft-unvetted. Demonstrates that the schema hosts an Arabic Akbarian passage AND a cross-tradition-structural edge with zero field changes — the cross-passage edge to the Dionysius graph is grounded in a real comparativist (Sells 1994), never asserted in Hekhal's own voice.
Targum · how this was rendered (engine provenance) →behold the Names’ entities in their plurality
Read a'yan (plural): the Real wills to behold the entified essences of His Names in their plurality — the Names' entities as the objects of the divine self-witnessing.
behold His single self — plurality folded into One
Read 'ayn (singular): the Real beholds His own single entity — the Names' plurality (wahidiyya) folded into one self-witnessing (ahadiyya). The inner reading is an aspect of the outer, not a substitution for it, per the zahir-batin discipline.
the Names “no enumeration can exhaust”
The apophatic register operates through what the Names cannot reach by enumeration (la yablughuha al-ihsa'): the kataphatic Names are bounded from above by an apophatic uncountability that gestures toward ahadiyya without naming it directly.
Ibn Arabi deliberately offers both readings ('aw in shi'ta qulta' — 'or, if you prefer, you might say'). The plural-entities and singular-entity readings are complementary aspects of one act, not rival claims: the body preserves both rather than choosing.
Both passages enact apophasis as negation-by-excess: the Dionysian hyper- / divine darkness and the Akbarian Names that 'no enumeration can exhaust'. Sells stages this structural parallel across the Akbarian and Christian-Neoplatonic apophatic streams. Reported from Sells, never asserted as a Hekhal equivalence.
