Hyperuranion[1] or topos hyperuranios[2] (Ancient Greek: ὑπερουράνιον τόπον,[3] accusative of ὑπερουράνιος τόπος, "place beyond heaven") is alternately a concept used by Plato to mean a perfect realm of archetypal ideas,[3] or a later medieval concept that claims God within the empyrean exists outside of heaven and controls it as the first mover from there for heaven even to be a part of the moved.[1]
