Brahman (ब्रह्मन्) is a Hindu/Vedic term syncretic with the LP concept, god with a little "g" and with the wider Fabric of Consciousness in toto. As syncretic with god with a little "g", it refers to the original instantiated monad, the original spark of self-awareness which, because it was bored, unfolded/created all of physical creation. When referring to The Fabric, it refers to the Fabric in totality.
