Excellent discussion and ideas spread in this thread. Thank you all for sharing.
I like to see the One Infinite Creator as utilizing the perfect blend of artistry and engineering to create all that is created. One can see artistry as the expression of infinity and engineering as the expression of intelligence; both are necessary for sustainable, structured creation. Art is great for reaching into the unknown - playing with ideas - to create that which has never been created before. Engineering is great for taking the known and re-ordering it in a manner that makes it more understandable, more stable, and more reproducible.
Along another dimension one can also map artistry to the metaphysical and engineering to the physical. The physical structure of something physical is quite objective while the metaphysical interpretation of something is subjective. A building designed by an engineer either performs the desired physical functions or not while the architect of the building whose goal is to make it look pretty has to perceive the subjective interpretations of the all the observers to succeed. But the building can only truly be a great building if it performs all its physical functions (engineering) and is aesthetically pleasing (artistry).
