Rezumat / Summary: The Symbolic epistemology highlights that the understanding of origin, order, and becoming is not achieved exclusively through empirical description, but through formal structures of intelligibility that precede representation and condition the emergence of determinate contents. Within this framework, poetic cosmogonies may be interpreted as symbolic models of genesis, in which potentiality, initiation, and the plurality of forms are gradually articulated through recurrent structural principles. Number thus appears not as a quantitative value, but as a formal principle of order and relation, functioning as a schema for the organization of the imaginary. The symbolic dynamic of the transition from undifferentiation to structuration brings into focus the articulation of complementary principles of manifestation, which progressively stabilize into intelligible archetypal forms. These forms become recognizable both at the cosmogonic level and at the epistemological level, as structures through which human cognition organizes and integrates the imaginary. In this sense, the cosmogony of Scrisoarea I (First Epistle) by Mihai Eminescu can be understood as a coherent symbolic system, in which numerological structures function as a model for the typologization of meaning.
