Definition

From object + -ification, following objectify.

Because nature is an objectification of AUM, the Primal Sound or Vibratory Word, man can obtain control over all natural manifestations through the use of certain MANTRAS or chants. — Autobiography of a Yogi, Paramahansa Yogananda
It is natural, then, that we should push this objectification to its furthest limit and that we should make the phenomenon A itself into a psychic state, in which the phenomenon B is supposed to be contained as a very vague idea. — Time and Free Will: An Essay on the Immediate Data of Consciousness, Henri Bergson
At the same time, however, we must admit that the import of tragic myth as set forth above never became transparent with sufficient lucidity to the Greek poets, let alone the Greek philosophers; their heroes speak, as it were, more superficially than they act; the myth does not at all find its adequate objectification in the spoken word. — The Birth of Tragedy; or, Hellenism and Pessimism, Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
