A God bound by dialectical necessity is stripped of the freedom to give.
Evidence
The logic of conceptual linkage (enchaĆ®nement conceptuel) would destroy Godās free superabundance. A God who is āat the least, prisoner of himselfā can give nothing. ā Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 740

- QUESTION: Directly serves the readerās mechanism hunt: conceptual necessity is the institutional-discursive arrangement that converts plastic God into captive ā worth testing against whether the same logic converts the plastic enemy into an agent-victim.
- XREF: Pays off the earlier chapters (85-86, 91) on divine lack, giving, and the dialectical negation of Godās power to promise.
