Join the tail of Physics and Theology by completing the circle, like Descartes' Cogito the fact that you exist establishes the truth of the foundational hypothesis.

Parmenides: Static

Heracleitus: Dynamic

The irreconcilability of the problem led to the Christian two-realities theory. Spiritual and material.

Let the life of the Universe be 1.

Feynman's U = 0 (Wilczek, 2000)

[page 34]

A god is an ordered set of actions, ie a process.

We can verify all the statements in this article by observation of the article itself (using as an instrument the collective wisdom of the community). This makes it identical to formalistic mathematics where the results are demonstrated on the paper once the reader follows the correct conventions for interpreting variables like a = 1, 2, 3, . . .

THEOLOGY = TRANSFINITE DYNAMICS
PHYSICS = COUNTABLE DYNAMICS

Since religion is the arbiter of life and death, it is natural that odium theologicum is the most deadly hate.

Dynamically, GOD IS THE ARBITER OF LIFE AND DEATH: it goes/does not go.

It is just a big lie to give yourself power: CORPORATE DELUSION

[page 35]

CORPORATIZATION = EMBODIMENT.

Individual has three problems, peers, < peers, > peers.

We want to move things from expert opinion (subject to individual environment) to common calculations or tables. How to design something safe: see load tables, operating instructions etc etc.

We evolve from ignorance through expert opinion to everyday engineering.

'The purpose of this letter is to suggest that life at an early stage of its evolution acquired the capacity to control the global environment to suit its needs, and that this capacity has persisted and is still in use. In this view the sum total of species is more than just a Catalogue, "The Biosphere", and like other associations in biology is an entity with properties greater than the simple sum of its parts. Such a large creature, even if only hypothetical, with the powerful capacity to homeostat the planetary encironment needs a name: I am indepbted to Mr William Golding for suggesting the use of the Greek personification of mother Earth, "Gaia". . back

Proceedings of the IEEE, 37 (January 1949) : 10-21. 'A method is developed for representing any communication system geometrically. Messages and the corresponding signals are points in two function spaces, and the modulation process is a mapping of one space into the other. Using this representation, a number of results in communication theory are deduced concerning expansion and compression of bandwidth and the threshold effect. Formulas are found for the maximum rate of transmission of binary digits over a system when the signal is perturbed by various types of noise. Some of the properties of "ideal" systems which transmit this maximum rate are discussed. The equivalent number of binary digits per second of certain information sources is calculated.' . back
