Transcendence is the ability of God to be limitless. The term describes His ability to transcend all the limits of cosmic and physical boundaries.

However inadequate and distracting a description of God it creates, the point of the metaphor here is that the transcendental God lacks natural characteristics, just as the transcendental numbers lack algebraic properties.
