The premise that Yaldabaoth’s realm is finite because of "oil" is a highly creative cross-pollination of Gnostic mythology and modern materialist sci-fi/lore.

In traditional Gnosticism, the realm of Yaldabaoth (the Demiurge) is already inherently finite, flawed, and decaying because it is a material copy of the eternal, spiritual Pleroma. Introducing oil as a limiting factor bridges ancient cosmic horror with industrial or world-building fiction.
