The word 'leviathan' is a spiritual concept referring to a dragon/beast of chaos. The word has been used by priests, obviously, but also by philosophers and political theorists such as the iconic Thomas Hobbes who used it to talk about man's instincts towards anarchism and rebelliousness.
Leviathan is supposed to represent unpredictability, but it can also refer to a general endless uncertainty.
Mathematicians may refer to leviathan as a hypothetical absence of any maximal values in a set of numbers (seemingly impossible but conceivable within the framework of infinite numbers).
Leviathan holds special significance in our modern age of media communications and etiquette 'advertising' (i.e., Facebook). People today are unabashedly presenting all kinds of personal information on the globally-accessible World Wide Web. Social customs are now a thing of high traffic.
Therefore, we can use leviathan today to talk about "perspective" (or self-determined frame of mind). Such unusual dialogue reveals why Hollywood (USA) makes perturbation-diagram films such as "Ghost in the Machine" [1993].
Since modern scientists experiment with re-creating human consciousness in computers and computing networks (i.e., Artificial Intelligence), we can evaluate how leviathan can refer to 'synthetic imagination.'
If a robot can rebel against his human inventor/creator (as science-fiction writers such as Isaac Asimov have posited), then we can start to hypothesize "layers" of rational free will. As we peel away these layers, we get a picture of a 'brooding machine' or an 'unruly synthetic mind.'
Imagine your philosophy professor makes the following joke one day in class: "My computer today was very gloomy."
It seems that modernism caters to a new brand of 'self-identification philosophy,' so we can draw out leviathan as a re-presentation of some kind of 'sanity monstrosity.'
Would you be more frightened of a hideous monster or an evil computer? Such questions are symbolic of our modern age of empirical inquiry. That is why leviathan today can be used in discussions about non-theism logic.
