| The "Second Mover" concept began as a goddess of mathematics and the arts, called Ȝronaeae (Old Eevo Ŋronae; modern Eevo ''Ŋrone'') in Old Eevo texts. Ancient Thensarian pagans saw a duality (i.e. an opposite but complementary relationship) between nature and human endeavors such as science, mathematics and the arts. The creator god, the First Mover, created nature; Ȝronaeae, the Second Mover, then helps humans analyze and create. Ancient sources disagree on which god created humans or gave humans specifically human qualities - some attribute this creation or "ensoulment" of humans to the Second Mover. However, it is important to note that Second Mover in early Talmic religion played a more active role in physical domains "near" humans such as harvest, weather, or governance than in later Talman thought.
