Sovev and makif means that which was from a higher level. It surrounds that which is revealed.

The significance: the revelation is a very finite message. Thus it is in constant need of substantiation. This substantiation might be construed as the basis for that revelation. But if that happens it lacks all significance. But, yes, there is reality in the finite revelation. This can only be grasped if it is realized that there is a makif that is providing for the revealed level.

When you ask, 'where did this come from?' and then 'where did God come from?' - but if you ask this of you don't grasp the subject. At the infinite level the question dissipates. Makif/surrounding level, does not get created.

'Makif' alludes to 'reality itself'. If gives reality to the inner/created levels.

We are saying there is infinite light before the contraction/tzimzum. This light already possessed the what would becomes the creation, which was to follow.

All the activities of the chocham/sage reflect his reality – the way he walks, talks, eats, etc... this is demonstrating that the specific revealed levels are reflective of the light that precedes the contraction.

All that exists does not stand on the basis of its functionality. It it the infinity (ohr ein sof) that gives it reality.
