The craft of a builder and its philosophical significance
Honorable Rabbi Shalom, in the Rabbi’s lesson on the work of a builder, the Rabbi spoke about how electricity actually sustains life in an object, and without it the object is meaningless. We see that the Magen Avraham says that an object built by carpenters, where it is opened and changed in shape, does not have the work of a builder. It can be argued that even in electricity, since we are used to constantly contradicting and constantly building it, there is no work of building.

The explanation of death to life has nothing to do with the contractions and the bed of Tarseem and is in his view within the realm of “possible”.
He has a more basic explanation according to which the matter is the cancellation of the parts to each other, under certain conditions even when this is done for a time and this belongs to the issue of the bed of Tarseem. And there is a difference between the explanations
The cancellation of the parts to each other is the same thing as death to life. Their cancellation turns them into something else, like an organic entity whose parts and details are integrated into one new collective entity.
It is worth checking his face and his correspondence with the Hershey. It appears from there that the two did not discuss the issues with each other.
My argument is not specifically about the prophecy itself. This is a correct explanation and perhaps it is also the (not necessarily conscious) intuition underlying his words. I cited there the words of the Abba”z in the article and book (which were also cited in the book, I think of a building with tools) regarding the boundaries of the builder's craft, which is defined as making a building that is a grouping of parts (stones, planks) to create a space. Therefore, there are two origins that have no connection between them: a tent (=space without grouping of parts) and a gibbon (=grouping without space). I argued that this is apparently a combination of two independent requirements (and therefore a non-transitive pathology is created here: origin A is similar to the father. origin B is similar to the father. But there is no similarity between the origins).
I explained that my proposal brings them closer together because they both create a new being (from death to life in my sense). The tent groups the parts of the space under it (and also the components of the structure itself) and unites them into a whole “Organic” one.
And so you see that the essence of the craft of construction is death to life. And it is a very true thing.
