Okay, Nobody, maybe I am the one who needs to be careful with using language for it can indeed be confusing.

Reality as we know it came from somewhere. Reality can be seen as a stick with a beginning and an end. The stick, first existing in a potential state, is created in that elsewhere. For reality to take a hold as our reality, the stick was bent and then bent some more until it broke somewhere in the middle. The two butt ends of the stick did not become part of our reality; they still exist in that somewhere else (dark matter). Our universe is not a perfect place, it is the result of an accident (or two). At the point where the two butts now exists, logic does not have an ordinary place. The remainder (our universe) is based on itself, yet itself is unlimited (as in the pieces of the broken bent stick (broken in the middle) flying away without restriction. Yet the pieces themselves are limited.

I hope you don't mind me using different examples/ideas to show the same. I have experienced that using a different example can shed light on an issue (though, I must admit, it can be confusing all by itself as well).

The Big Bang is according to me not a big bang, but an outward moving slowly materializing mass, a mass that — once it has taken on its shape — is subjected to laws that did not exist before. I would call that the Big Conflict (in stead of the Big Bang), for matter had established itself first (and was most likely moving towards further establishment) before the Big Conflict could take place.
