Incarnation instantiates the substance-subject movement within God himself

Evidence

Divine self-presence is interrupted, or rather opened up, by an inner distance. We can interpret this through the concept of the substance-subject and its movement, a movement in which God negates himself as immediate and substantial power, positing himself as other in the Incarnation which sees his birth as ‘subject’, before returning in the form of singularity to absolute substance. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 858
