Gur explains Noys as the ordering science of God. It seems to be the programme by which indefinite, nonlocal prima materia expresses itself(s) as a knotted, or heknotic Godhead composed of a great sea of kelim.
How does prima materia, in its manyness, prostrate itself before active intellect so that it may emerge in and through itself—tangling itself with itself—as the Vessel of vessels? This is done principally via Noys. Noys serves as the stomach of a ruminant God. It is a stomach of two stomachs. It processes the vibrant, saturated forest of beings and excretes this heterogeneity as something quite singular. This singular—this One—however, is a manyone insofar as it loses none of the vibrancy of prima materia. It very much is prima materia, just as it has been expressed and pleromized.
The ruminant Noys is a machine of double-articulation. Hjemslev the semiotic biologist was not the first to stumble upon this fact. It goes as far back as our grand philosopherking Plato of antiquity! The heknotic kelim are truly the Idea in action. The Catholic Church distinguishes between orthodoxa and orthopraxis. The Platonic schema may be contorted to posit orthopraxis as the imperfect manifestation of orthodoxa in the worldly kingdom, but I don’t really think this is the case.
The orthodoxic Idea of the Good emerges (and this is a great homology with Aristotle) through the expression of prima materia. Vibrant multiplicity, or the colorworld, has nothing but good intentions. This is why it can so easily convert itself into the Good with the help of the Noyetic stomach of God. Through digestion, the many inputs are funneled through one output, putting-into-being the colorful manyone. Its intensive vibrancy outdoes any prior nonlocal materia, for within the Vessel of vessels—the ha-k’li shel kelim—every moment reflects every other moment infinitely, like a prism. This is what Noah saw after the flood.
This prismatic One explodes out of itself and colors the world just as it gives off light. Godhead does not emit a stagnant white light—a sloppy synthetic colorworld—but a prismatic many-in-One. This is God-with-us, the Holy Spirit. Prima materia is processed in the Divine Stomach, pierces the heknotic kelim, and shatters the entire syzygetic body, thereby emanating Grace into the World and bringing heaven into our bodies (reflections of the colorful ha-k’li shel kelim).
