"Nihilo" was what was created. A nothing space for something other than overwhelming GOD to have an independent existence and move.
That's an interesting way of looking at it. Could that be considered a form of pantheism?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panentheism
Panentheism (meaning "all-in-God", from the Ancient Greek πᾶν pân, "all", ἐν en, "in" and Θεός Theós, "God") is the belief that the divine interpenetrates every part of the universe and also extends beyond time and space. Unlike pantheism, which holds that the divine and the universe are identical,[1] panentheism maintains a distinction between the divine and non-divine and the significance of both.[2]
My version: God spreads out it's qualities within/as the universe and exists whole/undifferentiated/unified outside the universe.
God is like an infinite particle (no outer border), the universe would be it's waveform expression with a finite border in time and space.
Here's an instructive img
