		Ayn: Aleph-Yod-Noun (1.10.700) is a negation in Hebrew: "There is not."

		Sof (Sammekh-Waw-Phay: 60.6.80) repeats and completes Ayn by the introduction of Sammekh (60) which, according to the code, is centripetal, fertilising energy.
		Sof is a biological equation expressing the setting in motion of differentiated energy, Phay (80), by two thrusts.
