The next point is that not only are aspects of Attik<\/em> conjoined and co-equal side-by-side, as we saw just above in relation to MaH<\/em> and Ban<\/em> as \u201cmale\u201d and \u201cfemale\u201d — they\u2019re conjoined \u201cfore\u201d and \u201caft\u201d as well.<\/p>\n

The \u201cfore\u201d aspect is termed Attik\u2019s<\/em> \u201cface\u201d while its \u201caft\u201d is termed the face\u2019s \u201cback\u201d.\u00a0 At bottom, Attik\u2019s<\/em> \u201caft\u201d is utterly subsumed to its \u201cfore\u201d and Attik<\/em> is a thorough unity in all dimensions. There is some seeming aspect of an \u201caft\u201d, technically speaking, but that turns out not to be a true \u201caft\u201d so much as a relative and inconsequential one. Here\u2019s how that\u2019s worded in Petach\u00a0<\/em>76.<\/p>\n

The phenomenon of the \u201cback <\/strong>(of the \u2018head\u2019, as opposed to its \u2018face\u2019 or \u2018front\u2019)\u201d, which<\/strong> is<\/strong> defined as being symbolic of the instance where the lights are darkened and don\u2019t irradiate <\/strong>[1](as opposed to the \u201cface\u201d, which is symbolic of the instance in which lights irradiate fully — as if being projected outward \u201cfull-face\u201d), isn\u2019t found in Attik<\/em>. For, <\/strong>instead, Attik<\/em> manifests a <\/strong>full \u201cface\u201d <\/strong>or \u201cfront\u201d on each side. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Its aspect of a \u201cback\u201d<\/strong>,suchasitis, is subsumed under the aspect of the \u201cface\u201d side <\/strong>there that governs. It\u2019s just that there\u2019s a \u201cface\u201d when it comes to the MaH<\/em> <\/strong>there and a \u201cface\u201d when it comes to the BaN<\/em><\/strong> there, but the BaN<\/em>\u2019s \u201cface\u201d is considered MaH<\/em>\u2019s \u201cback\u201d <\/strong>relatively speaking, while it\u2019s really not a \u201cback\u201d at all [2].<\/strong><\/p>\n
