then the nature of that locus would differ from the nature of all other loci. If that were so, spatial loci would be entities with real existence, since pure nonexistence cannot differ from itself. If spatial loci were entities with real existence, either they could be pointed to by means of the senses or they could not. If they could, then that thing would either be divisible—in which case the Creator occupying it would be divisible—or indivisible, in which case that thing would be confined to one spatial direction rather than another. The spatial locus would thus have another spatial locus, entailing an infinite regress.

If the locus occupied by the Exalted Creator could not be pointed to by means of the senses, then neither could the Exalted Creator Himself. For we know necessarily that anything whose spatial direction cannot be pointed to by means of the senses cannot itself be so pointed to. Thus, the Creator would not be situated in a spatial direction, which is what was to be established.

As for the alternative that the Creator’s occupying that locus is not necessary, His being confined to it must be due to a freely choosing agent, whether through an intervening factor or without one. Everything that is the act of a freely choosing agent originates in time. Therefore, the Creator’s being confined to a spatial locus originates in time. Thus, in pre-eternity He did not occupy a spatial locus, and something not thus situated cannot come to depend on a spatial locus. It is therefore established that it is impossible for the Creator
