Zohar and Sefer Etz Chaim

Both texts affirm the anthropomorphic structure (דיוקנא/צורת אדם) as organizing principle for the olamot and partzufim. Text 1 (Etz Chaim) emphasizes the detailed architectural mechanics: how AK extends through circles and line (עגולים/יושר), the boundary conditions where worlds emanate, and the precise containment structure (מקום פנוי between light and vessels). Text 2 (Zohar) emphasizes the completeness and integration function: that the human form contains upper and lower worlds unified, and serves as template (דיוקנא) for establishing the configuration (תיקוני) of Atika and Zeir Anpin. Etz Chaim foregrounds spatial-structural mechanics; Zohar foregrounds unification and completeness. No substantive contradiction, but fundamentally different explanatory focus.
