The difficulty I've been having with going much further is that every systematic attempt to apprehend divinity that I've seen is complete: that is, it divides divinity into a finite number of "chunks" and then makes sure that everything is accounted for. (See also the Babylonian treatment of the zodiac, or how Pythagoras treated the numbers 1-10, or how Sallustius discusses the Olympians, etc.)
But the system I'm sketching out, above, has an infinite number of prime numbers! I mean, it seems reasonable to me to assume divinity is infinite, but how does one begin to try and make sense of the infinite!? So for the moment, I am waiting for illumination. (Story of my life!)
