Malchus is called shchinah – even as it is in the king, since it enables the connection between the king and the people. That is the corner.
There are constant thoughts going through a person's mind – thoughts at all levels – they are all neshamah insights that are truly representative of his life and the experience of his life.
These thoughts represent all the sphirot. While they are going on they do not form an entitity – it is entirely personal. Malchus is where they coalesce and they say “this is what I am”. And this is how he relates to other people.
On the one hand it sets a limit of, “this is who I am”, but the point is not the limit, it is rather to collect the experiences and express a real being. The reality of this life is in malchus – a summary. If it goes on indefinitely then it doesn't stand for anything – it must reach a statement – this is the corner where it expresses what it is all about.
In the melech where we are talking of self definition – this is what facilitates his relation to the people, otherwise he is involved with his own internal thoughts/processes. Thus the corner not a limit – it is the granting of full consequence.
Both the king and the people are in full expression. This is a metzius not based on yeshus.
