Love. Some people say only people love. But we are not that restrictive. We take love to be any sort of bonding system and qualify it as necessary by talking of divine love, human love, animal love, cosmic love etc etc
The basic competitive advantages are
productivity and
frugality
Theology has to learn what physics has learnt, that there is no hope of progress without embracing recursive function theory.
At the root of mathematics and physics is the realization that
[page 104]
changing the name does not make the slightest difference to the thing. [general covariance]
Nothing means anything until it takes physical form, and the physical forms differ as much as an inchoate dream and a global manufacturing industry.
This site is a spirited attack on the Roman Catholic Church. A sort of two year old tantrum thrown by a male in his fifties. You'll get the idea as I go along. I have developed a hypothetical basis for the tantrum which is being published at . . . Here the technical details and historical facts are of secondary importance, we are toward the drama end of the spectrum of human communications and away from the scientific and mathematical end. The whole point of this project and its various sites is that at the most abstract level, the dynamics is invariant along this spectrum.

My problem with the RCC is that it denies the creativity of the Universe, instead attributing all creation to an outside personality, a puppeteer called God.
The second point is that the RCC forces this point of view down the throats of little children and any other 'pagans' and 'natives' it can get its hands on. This blatant missionary activity is like its counterparts in the rest of the sales industry.
The RCC is a global bastion of fundamentalism bringing to the third millennium the narrowness of institutional consciousness three thousand years old. As individuals it is a personal matter whether or not we subscribe to ancient texts and dogmas, but in the public forum it comes down to survival of the fit.
Large corporations like the RCC are essential to human existence. What can
[page 106]
change however is the nature of the corporations. All corporations sell a concept of humanity. They also implement a concept of humanity in their structure.
Consumer sovereignty.
Every product provides for a human need in two ways: real and placebo.
Spiritual fault lines.
Hypothesis:
1. Universe infinitely big and complicated, big enough to be god.
2. Symmetries simplify it locally to enable us to understand and
manipulate our environment for survival, ie fulfillment of need:
positive needs | negative needs.

From the Lagrangian we seek an optimal point in the balance between working for oneself (principal) and working for another (agent).
1. Know something you don't know.
Fundamentalism, is based on a vicious circle. This vice is most obvious to me in the bastion of fundamentalism on planet earth, the Roman Catholic Church (RCC).

Every structure can be represented by a tree or pair of connected trees. [Diagrams]
Or was it four trees connected by roots and branches to make a flow. [Like human circulation]
We are looking for imagery to describe the Cantor Universe in an intuitive way.
Human spirit is created and destroyed by corporations. Humans are the energy of corporations, the physical side.
Potential is outside time. Kinetic is inside time. Potential is mapped onto spacetime. And potentials move as the sources move and vice versa. Potentials are communication links.

The 'Picture Book of Theology'. Brandt What is the conserved flow through this tree - ACTION. Flow of action = energy ie d(action)/dt = energy = erg.sec/sec = erg.
Static view: Religion is the information that one has absorbed during a lifetime under self control. Dynamic view: religion is how I am behaving at this moment within all the formal constraints upon me: the complexity of the constraints matches the complexity of the action.
Fundamentalism: control by variety reduction.
Roles:
From a marketing point of view one needs a personal role, since
selling is a peer to peer process. Science, on the other hand, is a
corporate process, so the impersonal and abstract mode of expression
is to be preferred. However, it is open, without reducing the
bandwidth of society,
[page 110]
to push the personal value of looking to the whole system before making a personal decision. Insofar as natural spirit.com suggests certain courses of action, these actions are intended to improve the integration of individual personalities into the global system by pressing the line that any reasonable global system should be able to incorporate any individual in the space of consistent subsystems.
What all this come to is that any utterance, such as this, can be construed as coming from any one of an infinity of roles.
Trying to grasp the overview and reduce it to elemental grabs (slogans like F = ma, E = mc2,, S = k log W, etc).
