True Essence:
The manifestation/true state of every being's innate nature.
Embodiment of the being's innate Real Conceptuality.
Cannot be stolen, copied, altered, edited, or erased by externals.
Awareness:
Not consciousness; the conceptual level of power.
Whenever a being's Awareness increases, their entire being evolves at an Omni-level.
Essential to reach True Essence.
Growth from Awareness is called Alyan.
Alyan:
Conceptual evolution increase through Awareness.
Triggered by conscious adaptation & learning.
Growth & evolution with no limits at an Omni-degree.
Alyan Increase:
The measure of how much a being has evolved.
Measured in conceptual density & existential mass, not numerical tiers.
Translated as "Higher Increase."
Functions as a Pre-Axiom—clarifies evolution as boundless but unscaled, grounded in existential weight.
Presence:
Invisible manifestation of a being's Essence.
Manifests the being's conceptual density & existential mass, based on Alyan & Awareness.
Not an aura or pressure, but an existential ambiance—reality itself responds to a being's "weight."

Self-Imposed Limiters:
The major weakness for every being.
