'''Transcendence''' is the ability of [[God]] to be limitless. The term describes His ability to transcend all the limits of cosmic and physical boundaries. In mathematics, ''transcendence theory'' is its branch of thought studying [[transcendental number]]s. However inadequate and distracting a description of [[God]] it creates, the point of the metaphor here is that the transcendental God lacks natural characteristics, just as the transcendental numbers lack algebraic properties.
