It

It existed.

It didn’t have a name, at least, it didn’t have one for Itself. That would imply an understanding of existence, both of Itself and things other than Itself.

It lacked that, at least as we would understand thinking. It saw Existence, It saw Itself, and beyond that, trying to comprehend how It thought would require you to understand all of reality at once, and then be able to invert your mind.

So you don’t try to get inside It, you just try to learn to predict how It acts, or more accurately reacts.

Very important.

Because It hungers.
