We explained elsewhere the concept of עיגולים, circles with regards to the Sefiros. Each circle represents a self-contained and unconnected concept. Chesed alone, Gevurah alone, etc. They each have no means by which they can connect to anything else. There are no connecting lines to draw one into the other.
We can view this in two ways. They are each separate concepts. Additionally, each one, being self-contained, wants to be all encompassing, and leaves no room for anything else.
The name Elokim, which is defined as "The Master of all Powers," indicates disparate powers. In their state of disconnection and dissension they also wreak havoc. This is why Hashem could not create the world with מדת הדין (the power of separation and differentiation) alone. The world could not exist like that. Only by melding in the name יקוק were they able to unite through the underlying power of the One force that created them all. This name indicates that they all emanated from Him, from his singular unity empowering them to unite.
