The stone is uncarved — this word has no glyph yet. The place was prepared before the carving.

Definition

Divine-self-referential-withdrawal-that-causes-world-cessation-as-received-ordinance — the specific state where a presence whose activity sustains the world's basic functions withdraws INTO itself in anger or distress, and the world's functions cease as collateral consequence. Not punitive (the suffering is ecological, not aimed), not permanent (the return is possible), not self-sufficient (the gods go hungry too). The world's functioning IS the divine presence; when the presence goes, the functions cease.
