Could we conceive of a perfect entity if it didn't exist?

[Anonymous No.3951486]

We have previously conceived of entities/phenomena that we did not realize exist. Likewise, we can conceive of entities/phenomena that do not exist, although only in reference to entities/phenomena that do exist.

As for perfection, that in itself is subjective and cannot be fully conceived of

Let me stop you right there. Limited subjectivities are incapable of conceiving the absolute.

Of course not, the absolute exceeds my capacity to comprehend it. Only inspired eisegesis can comprehend the absolute, and that is because the absolute is riding and residing within and upon a subjectivity. And guess what you need to differentiate inspired eisegesis from simple madness? That's right, absolute comprehension.

I think it is for this reason that we simply cannot comprehend a 'perfect' being in the first place without referring to certain subjective yardsticks already ground or biased from our own reality.

'Imagination' and 'creativity' are nothing more than the (extreme) warping of existing perceptions and realities and fundamentally contain nothing genuinely 'new'.
