But since "everything" (all possibilities) is in potential when in "unity" then would freedom even have any relevance in the way we look at it? The unmanifested source of this existence, the OIC, would have the freedom to explicate/manifest/distort anything from itself, that is, if it could realize that option, which it apparently did.
The idea of "unity" is difficult to grasp when paired with "infinite." Unity suggest that there are parts to be unified. Infinity suggests something like the wave function where all possibilities are inherent, and I picture some infinite, implicate, conscious yet unfocused, endless field of energy, which has no parts. What I imagine is this field, though infinite, evolves through the manifested parts of itself—us and all manifestation—as the parts evolve. Therefore when reunited with the source, the source carries the signature of what you have added to it, and in that way your part is apparent in the whole.
In the holographic model, each piece of a holographic plate (the whole plate would correspond to the OIC) holds the entire image of the whole, yet as the pieces get smaller (are cut from the original plate), the image becomes fuzzier. The pieces would correspond to the hierarchy of derivatives (logos, sub-logos, sub-sub-logos etc.), hence the formation of SMCs may have a clearer view of existence because they become a larger (unified) holographic piece, and therefore have resolved some of the fuzziness.

I think this has to do with another conundrum—how something infinite could evolve. But if it couldn't, then evolving would not be a possibility, and all possibilities must exist within infinity. Infinity cannot be finite.
