Sophia — Wisdom

Wisdom and the boundary of manifestation

Sophia is rendered as the innermost named aeonic shell, preserving her role in the text's account of wisdom and the transition toward the lower world. The shell does not turn the mythic narrative into a diagnosis of a person's wisdom, fall, or spiritual condition.

The Apocryphon of John (NHC II,1; III,1; IV,1; BG 8502,2) (primary_canonical)

The cosmological account names Sophia in the sequence leading to the lower creator narrative; this system retains that textual figure while treating its shell position as a comparative visual device.
