Emanation and The One

According to Emanationism, all entities issue forth from a single source, termed by Plotinus and others, 'The One'.  Hence, Emanationism is distinguished from standard Biblical Creationism, for which the world is created 'out of nothing', i. e. not out of its deity.  Now, The One is typically conceived as ontologically perfect, with respect to which, what emanates from it is of lesser degrees.  But, if so, then all entities are at least implicitly given in The One, i. e. 100% entails all lesser degrees.  Thus, 'Emanation' is, more properly, 'dissipation'.  Furthermore, if The One is given as 'perfect', then any variation of it can only be as much an extrinsic process with respect to it as would be any creation of other entities ex nihilo.  One root of such problems for Emanationism is its arbitrary commitment to the Parmenidean perfectionism of The One, which precludes the possibility of conceiving Emanation as Pluralization, i. e. as a surplus generation of entities that are not ontologically inferior to their source.
