Dear Science, I have thought about your response to my submission (' we do not have an appropriate section in the magazine for such essays') and concluded that the term 'theology' may have caused you concern. I have therefore rewritten the piece with a view to communicating exactly the same ideas (or model) without using the terms god or theology. Instead we define Universe to mean that which there is nothing outside of. We can think of Universes in either an absolute or a relative sense. There is nothing outside The Universe simpliciter. This position excludes the use of the term to mean something of which there are many. On the other hand, we can confine ourselves (or find ourselves confined to) subsets of The Universe, Universes of action or discourse bounded by an unknown territory outside the Universe of discourse. So we may say that the Universe, insofar as it is observable, obeys the laws of propositional calculus. The observational foundation of this position is the stuff of experimental quantum physics. The explanation of these events, quantum mechanics, is a continuous expansion of propositional calculus, ie

predicate calculus. (First and second order theories).
