I think you’re correct. I have modified my original post to classify subspace as a mushin, instead of as a jhana. Jhana is characterized by stability of attention, which is not characteristic of subspace. Mushin is characterized by the absence of self-originated willful volition, which is absolutely descriptive of subspace.
I like the original title [NSFW] The Subspace Jhana better too. I wrote the entire post with that title in mind. This version loses the original’s elegance.
[Note to future readers: This post went through many different titles. Some of these comments are out-of-date.]

For what it’s worth, I still prefer the original title, even after seeing the rationale for changing it. Oh well.
