I was seeking to contrast a "thing" in between, as against a relationship, an overlap, an inter-relationship. Maybe you are determined to have some sort of "triune" as the "ground of being"?

I see more a "ground" that when "touched" can then open to diversification. Diversification prior to touchdown (!) may well require a "self" in between.
