 In Llull’s metaphysics, the existence of things is explained based on the “similarity” that their nature shares with other beings, and the way in which this resemblance “participates” in the nature of other superior beings like Principles or Dignities. The “similarity” expresses a relationship of correspondence among beings, which is also designated “signification” by Llull, as it is a relationship by which God is manifest in creation. “In the perfection of the created goodness”—wrote Llull in Libre dels proverbis de Ramon LXXXI—“the perfection of the uncreated goodness is signified”.
