The state before the Tzimzum is described in the Lurianic Kabbalah as the “infinite light of Ein Sof” - absolute Chesed. There, our degree of uncertainty is maximal.
The state of Tzimzum is described as a contraction of Ein Sof, the creation of the “hollow spherical space” - absolute Gevura - and subsequent emanation of the ray of light into this hollow space - finite Chesed. Our degree of uncertainty is very low.
The first information world created after Tzimzum was Adam Kadmon (Primordial Adam). We have a minimum amount of structural information; hence our degree of uncertainty is high. Here, we observe an increase of Chesed.
The next world, Akudim, is described as a vessel which contains all the Sefirot. According to Arizal (The Tree of Life, Volume 2: The palace of Points, English ed.), the Sefira Malchut emerged first and after the rest other Sefirots. Here, there is a lot of structural information. The notions of information space (Sefira Malchut) and of Sefirot (information concepts) were introduced, which corresponds to the increase of Gevura and the reduction of uncertainty.
The world of Nekudim (Tohu) - the world of points - is described as an information space scarcely populated by the Sefirot (singular information concepts) which don’t interact with one another. That corresponds to the significant increase of Gevura; the degree of uncertainty is almost zero.According to the Lurianic Kabbalah, the concepts of the world of Tohu were broken into less complex low dimensional concepts (the breakage of the vessels).
In the world of Atzilut – information world densely populated by concepts, - the main structure is the fractal-shaped Tree of Sefirot. There is a huge number of possible states, and the information entropy is high. Chesed is increased.In the information zone of Sefira Malchut of the world of Atzilut, the creation of Adam HaRishon (The First Adam) took place. If Adam HaRishon hadn’t sinned, that would have been the end of Creation. In the Etz Hayim (The Tree of Life, Volume 2, The Palace of Points, English ed.), Arizal describes the breakage of the vessels in the world of Tohu and the subsequent emanation of the world of Atzilut as two Shabbats.
As a result of the Sin of Adam HaRishon, the information dimensions of evil (the other side, or the anti-commandments) were actualized, which caused Almighty to begin the Six Days of Creation of the worlds BYA.The worlds BYA are the “Seals of the world of Atzilut” (Etz Hayim). Their structure is identical to the structure of the world of Atzilut. Here, we observe the hierarchy of concepts with diminishing dimensionality and complexity, and an increase of Gevura.
As the result of the Sin, Adam HaRishon was expelled from the Garden of Eden (died relatively to the Garden of Eden), and Adam Belial was created in the world of Asiya.

There, the Creation was stopped.
