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 rendering was made →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 1994 sets the Akbarian and Christian Neoplatonic apophatic streams side by side (chapters on Plotinus, Eriugena, Ibn Arabi, Porete, Eckhart); he has no chapter on Dionysius, so this edge applies his frame to the Dionysian passage rather than reporting his own pairing. Reported from Sells, never asserted as a Hekhal equivalence.
