In mathematics transcendence theory is its branch of thought studying [[transcendental number]]s. However inadequate and distracting a description of [[God]] it creates, the metaphor here is that the transcendental God lacks natural characteristics as the transcendental number lacks algebraic properties. | + | '''Transcendence''' is the ability of [[God]] to be limitless.
