Theological Spring to Commonweal
Why am I so tense? What is happening beneath my consciousness?
Violence is relative to layer or level in the network. Errors within a layer may be corrected non-violently within the layer but an error in a lower layer may appear violent in a higher layer.

Entanglement and gravitation: the meaning of meaningless processes. What is the quantum mechanical description of particles with no structure -- they are identical, see Feynman. So gravitation is an entropic force, purely a matter of numbers of identical fixed points and corresponding degrees of freedom, without regard to their interiors, they are simply units, ie quanta of action whose flow through the network is energy. Feynman
Although we see special relativity principally as kinematic transformation of space and time, we also know that energy and momentum transform in the same way and can exist independently of space and time (?) ie they are a lower layer -- the gravitation-energy layer. Momentum is emergent from energy (?) which emerges from action.

The social responsiobility of science. The old theologies, not being scientific, are only loosely coupled to reality and so we have thousands of different theologies each of which is inconsistent with the others at one or more points. Since they are more concerned with their traditions rather than reality, their discord is a constant source of stress among the people of the Earth and between people and the Earth. This is the radical problem, and it must be solved before we can have peace on Earth.
The solution is well under way in many minds, but it has to be developed into a testable ypothesus and subjected to the judgement of reality,. This requires as number of instances on metanoia in academic theology.

Theologians, b y not developing their art, are responsible for conflict in the world in the same was as the physicists who built the bomb [or the economists and politicians who brought us the 'global financial crisis'], responding to decisions at the national political level.
Sleep need and sleep actualization.
Take a chance: drill an oil well.
What is sexy? We want to make theology sexy. Wet, ie bound by liquid, flexibility, a degree of freedom / pleasure.'Collapse of wave function' = birth of an idea. [collapse of wave function = choice of eigenfunction and eigenvalue]

MOVEMENT = COMPUTATION = CONTROLLED CREATION and ANNIHILATION of STATES.
Quantum mechanical state is observed by sharing stationary points with another state, ie the same basis states. Zurek. Wojciech Hubert Zurek Quantum origin of quantum jumps:

A long time (if undocumented) aim is to apply the mathematics of gravitation to the money system using the analogy between floes of money and flows of energy. Invested, ie fixed, money (energy) is mass or potential which drives actual flows of cash (energy). Something like this. As the sum of potential and
[page 146]
kinetic energy remains forever zero., so the sum of moving and fixed value remains zero. Something like investment is negative value that generates cashflows (consumption, living) as an equal positive value (or vice versa, the english terms positive and negative has a much more complex superposition of meanings than the mathematical symbols + and −).Core of correspondence is symmetry -- gravitation sees only energy = rate of action; money sees only value regardless of the actual formal implementation of the value, diamonds = dust.
Science drills down but must eventually synthesize as well and theology is by definition the synthesis of all scientific knowledge. Syn-thesis means together put and we can only put all the elements of our scientific knowledge into a consisten picture if we have a model as a whole.
The GFC was generated by failures within the financial system.

The economic consequences of religion.
Number of states. Adam Smith: the division of labour is limited by the extent of the market. Entropy is a function of size. There is no dust. All sizes are in some way a consequence of interaction (like the size of the atom).
. . . 'Above all, it is Adam Smith's vision of a self regulating invisible hand that is his
[page 147]
enduring contribution to modern economics.' -- which nevertheless recognises market failure. Adam Smith - Wikipedia
Intellectual pollution: Christianity.
The fundamental violation of human rights is the murder of those who think and act differently from the standards imposed by the murderers to maintain their power.

A New Theology: an internet treatise.
Particles are observable, durable and so states of memory and messages. What we are interested in is how particles interact at all levels from physics o the social sciences. This makes theology the doyenne of the social sciences.
We go from disparaging the Church to treating it formally as an earlier stage in the evolution of the human milieu to maximum entropy.
Natural theology and natural religion already exist, they account for the evolution of the Universe so far, we just have to become aware of them to see them at work, the tautology of insight, ie decoding previously unknown languages.
The most shocking change in life is the passage from life to death of a beloved person.
[page 148]
The World = God ranges from the sublime to the horrendous, measured in terms of human internal states. I relive NN's death and years of tears.
On Denial -- Christians have abolished death. Heartland Institute has denied climate change. Hickman Leo Hickman
The network is like a market. In a market prices go up and down in fixed increments and a deal is done when a buyer and a seller meet on the same price. The price is a cardinal number, the stuff of classical physics. When we go quantum we replace cardinals with ordinals (which we might call codes) and information is exchanged when two agents meet through a code common to both of them.
The new theology aims for total inclusivity, that is complete human symmetry, in order to minimize the generation of dissidents, particularly those with murderous intent, whether a terrorist government or a terrorist non=government organization. The ultimate implementation of this symmetry requires many changes in the content and style of education, from birth. The motivation for prophecy grows as one becomes more aware of the evil in the world.
Same sex marriage and human symmetry.

Symmetry embraces liberty, equality and justice.

Liberte, egalite, fraterniteWhile reality continued as well as it could, the financial system broke down because it is not coupled to reality, a castle in the air like Christianity.
The abuse of women and children around the world which must be stopped by laws from legislators properly funded for both education and the detection and correction of offenders.
1. Build a good system.
2. Use the system as a standard to detect and correct errors.
