Two conversations seem to have collides here.
Always a risk, but that doesn't meant that point out inconsistencies is necessarily unwarranted.
Circular hierarchies result in things creating themselves AND being created by something other than themselves.
No, and no. Circular continuities don't necessarily imply any sort of hierarchy, and whilst a given instance of an element in a loop can be looked at as being dependent upon a similar precursor, nothing in the existence of a circular continuity necessitates any sort of creation, you'd have to justify that conclusion separately.
Is the trinity a circular heirarchy? It doesn't seem even to be a heirachy of any sort.
You tell me. You were the one that said a=god, b=god and c=god, and that a causes b, which causes c, which causes a. I didn't introduce hierarchise to the discussion, but that certainly seems to be the circular continuity that you've just discounted above as 'intellectual cakeism'*
O.
* as any good Portal fan knows, the cake is a lie.
