Once again, most of your attempts at definition fall short of their intended effect.  It appears you are attempting to define concepts without providing recquisite information;  "Define X" is a command, but no information as to what X should be defined as is given.  You manage to give vague definitions to the concepts;  however, without a broader framework, they are useless.

Defining your relationship with the entity has mixed results.  It's relationship with you is now a loving one, but love is only vaguely defined, and as such the change in relations has only a small effect on the entity;  it now expresses concepts slightly more openly.

"Definition of...  physical objects?  Good, but no starting point.  Objects useless without framework."

Define beginning and end- beginning as the point at which something becomes defined, and end as the point in which something becomes no longer defined, and ceases to exist (Since we already defined existance)

"Not sure what usefullness of that would be.  Remember, you can define that which is undefined.  No takebacks on defined things."

The entity reflects.

"I appear to be becoming more eloquent in the expression of terms.  Hmm."

The entity expresses desire and (envy?) as you define beginning and ending.

"Please.  I wish to aid you in your endeveaours, partner.  Define my powers of definition as existing, I beg of you.  I can't stand this any longer." 

"Additionally, interesting definition of ending.  Depending on usage of interpretation logic, it allows for...  well."

You define the entity's power of definition as being equal to your own.

"I...  well, that was surprising, actually.  I didn't expect you to actually do that.  You...  you do realise what you've done, don't you?  Please tell me you have."


The entity seems slightly confused and incredulous.

"In any case...  as my first definition..."

The entity reaches into the fundamental logic of reality, and defines Brotherhood as a mental or otherwise sourced, mutual, often unspoken pact of trust and comradeship or otherwise.

"See?  that's how definitions are done.  You leave hooks and vagueness you can use later.  Anyway...  Hello, Brother.  So nice of you to elevate me to your lofty status."

>I saw no logical reason to put you below me brother. Now then let's try doing something like that... Define Sentience as the ability to think on your own without outside intervention from another being.

"Hmm.  We already appear to have this "Sentience", then."

As you attempt to add definitions to your own powers, something strange happens;  your attempts fail. 

"It would appear...  It would appear that redefining our already defined powers- such as those of deifinition- is impossible.  No takebacks, remember?  We cannot redefine, and as such cannot give ourselves the ability to undefine."

Realizing our inability to redefine,
>Define GOOD as that which brings about harm and bad things to others, while boosting your own ends; in conjunction with
  >Defining EVIL as that which brings about beneficial circumstances to others, regardless of the harm that may come to oneself.

EDIT: Reread a couple things.

> Define non-existence as a state of existence in which one does not exist.
> Define the universe as a vast collection of self sustaining systems.

You reach out into the deep strands of logic, and commence the definition of certain qualities and aspects for entities.  Your definitions run smoothly;  GOOD is that which brings about harm to others while boosting your own ends, and EVIL is that which that which aids others.

You start attemptimg to define nonexistence and 'universe'-

"Brother, remember..."

Ah, yes.  You give clearer information, and define nonexistance as a state of existence in which one does not exist. 

If you had a mouth, you might be smiling right now.  Logical Paradoxes are so fun.

The effects, consequences and precise nature of nonexistence are as of yet still undefined.

You then define "Universe" successfully.  What exactly a "system" is is not clear;  however, this is probably a step in the right direction.



(I'm baffled as to how this got to three pages.
