Aristotelian hylomorphism permits no middle category between substance and accident, so any entity claimed to transcend this division generates a genuine contradiction within that framework.

Aristotelian: "Aristotelian" refers to ideas and methods based on the teachings of Aristotle, an ancient Greek philosopher who lived over 2,000 years ago. He emphasized observing the real world, using common sense reasoning, and organizing knowledge into logical categories—rather than relying solely on abstract ideas. His approach heavily influenced Western thought, science, and education for centuries, making him one of the most important thinkers in history.
Transcend(metaphysics and ethics): Go beyond or rise above something; in this case, moral principles that exist independent of human-made rules.
accident(Medieval Aristotelian ontology): A being that exists in a subject; the complementary category to substance in the exhaustive division of extramental beings
contradiction(Relevant to distinguishing contradictions from false contingent statements in the logic student variant of the preface paradox.): A statement that is necessarily false in all interpretations; in this context, specifically the negation of a tautology or any falsehood drawn from a list containing only tautologies and contradictions.
