principle without principle

In my gift-ontology, “principle without principle” names the Father’s unoriginatedness. It means the Father is from no one. It does not imply temporal priority over the Son and Spirit. It does not imply superiority of essence. It is a personal provenance marker, an origin-tag in the strictest sense. This phrase is important for guarding monarchy from subordinationism. It distinguishes “being source” from “being greater.” It also guards Filioque talk from a two-source reading: even when speaking of Father and Son as one spirating principle, the Father remains the unoriginated principle without principle.
