To quickly reiterate my major questions from our chat:

  • Why should what you can build have anything to do with your creator?
  • What led you to ask this question? Why would you suppose you'd find this idea in a philosophy text?

I said there,

As is the question is something of a 'fishing' expedition -- you don't tell us why you're asking, how it helps you become a better student of philosophy -- and the idea you are asking us for references to itself isn't particularly clear..

I do want to acknowledge that you have made some effort at unpacking your questionyour question further in chat and comments. However, as formulated the question didn't provide very much in the way of context. If you edit the question to unpack the idea a bit further and include some discussion of your motivations I will certainly reconsider my close vote.

Now, just in case it may not be clear what I am indicating by 'context' -- I mean the theoretical context of the idea (what else you might be working through, whatever you may have found out so far, etc.) Including it shows good will, and demonstrates that you have put in a minimum of effort. What I mean by 'motivation' is just talking a bit more in depth about what led you to this formulation of the question -- in other words, what philosophical problem is it helping you solve? How does someone from the community explaining the answer to you make you a better student of philosophy? And so on.
