My contention is that the root of Christian theology is exactly wrong.,quite an achievement but not quite perfect or good enough. They separate God and the World, the idea here is that this is wrong and hat God and the World are in fact identical.
I began with Thomas and then Lonergan. In my own mind I showed that Lonergan's argument is false. There is no empirical residue. Every event has a pedigree stretching back to the initial singularity which (although now no longer physically embodies) give meaning to the present state of things.
Properties of transfinite numbers:
1. Scale invariant: 2ℵn =ℵnℵn = ℵn+1
2. Cantor symmetry leads to their generation by an 'identical process' which we interpret to be permutations of symbols representing different actions which are in turn represented by different Turing machines.
3. Define logical space, each layer being the set of permutations of the layer beneath it. In reality this is set is pruned by natural selection.
4. Logically necessary / symmetrically probable.
Islam: we must submit to physics.
Quantum mechanics is a one dimensional theory and the best name for that dimension is action, which bifurcates into energy and frequency.
Here infinite does not mean big, it simply means unbounded, that is in some way indistinguishable from the background. (these letters are bounded, definite shapes in black on while).
What is your biggest worry? Wrinkles? We have a wrinkle cream. Death? We have an antidote for that too, if you believe us.
The fundamental error in Christian theory is the notion that time and eternity are opposed rather than different aspects of the same dynamic process. We understand their unity through Brouwer's fixed point theorem and its descendants. From a factual point of view, Christianity does not truly represent the world and is
therefore likely to lead us astray in the struggle for existence.
Idealist effortless eternal perfection is an element of dreamland.
The transfinite power of syntax = ordering. In the physical world ordering requires bonding, the prime example being DNA.
The proper data of theology is personal experience and Christianity is concerned to remediate the condition of people who are experiencing poverty in one form or another.
Human Fermion behaviour: one intimate partner at a time because we are all of equal power as peers.
Aris page 3: '. . . the language of tensor analysis . . . embodies . . . the idea that the "physical" entity is the same though its mathematical description may vary. It follows that there must be a relation between any to mathematical descriptions if they refer to the same entity, and it is this relation that gives the language its character.'
Relations between things themselves is half of science. The other half for each of us comprises relations between things (including other people) and ourselves.
Every event is a judgement of God.
Quantum mechanical probability is the probability of a certain action which is the probability of the execution of a certain Turing machine.

The Jesus stance: he speaks with authority.
What you are experiencing now is your vision of the divine entity of which you are a sub-process; and me. The data of theology is human experience. We do not need to know individual experiences, only that experiences are messages entering consciousness,which, like all other messages, must have certain properties if they are going to justify their existence.
The form of time is the mathematical exponent eit.
Newton and calculus began the breakout from eternal formalism that had previously dominated academic thought.

The basis vectors of a Hilbert space can be seen as orthogonal symbols each of which has a certain possibility of emission when the system represented by the space is observed.
