Is there anything outside of God?
Surely, and would you then say that a conditioned, contingent being is limited by the very fact that it is conditioned and contingent, that is to say, that its being limited is no different from its being conditioned and contingent?

-
Well they all come in one package deal though they're conceptually distinct.
-
And would you say that a limit or condition has a positive existence or that it is merely a negation, i.e. has only a negative existence?
-
It might depend on what we're talking about and what perspective.
-
Let us say from the universal perspective, and limit in its most general meaning, in the sense of determination
-
Then what is determined is certainly real, but what it is not is either potency, which is real, or nothing.
-
Ah yes surely that which is determined is real, but what would you say of the determination itself?
-
If it were unreal, how could there be determined things?
-
I would say that from a relative perspective these determinations are certainly real, and thus there appear determined things to us, which are real in their own right
