Depends on what you mean by the last sentence fragment. The Vithelans remember Creation as a period of time in which the Three Measures were transformed into the High Gods. The Cosmos did exist at the beginning but it was formless.
In the Malkioni PoV, I don't think they conceive of the Creator manifesting within the Cosmos in the same period. He separates Matter from Energy and Nature from Divinity according to the Abiding Book. It is an action which he performs at a distance (Enclosure #1 speaks of 'perceiving').
>[...] but that's

But I didn't _say_ 'created world', I have always said 'Cosmos'.
