Shekhinah contact threshold
Crown — approach to the throne-presence
The crown is the diagram's contact threshold for the presence encountered at the end of the palace ascent, represented here with the language of Shekhinah and throne-presence. Hekhalot literature supplies the ascent and throne-vision horizon, but does not prescribe a crown point on the human body; this placement is therefore an editorial threshold with a widened uncertainty radius.
