Overcoming the Platonic error: concrete love of God: with my body I thee worship, not just reciting the holy words with my tongue but licking You and feeling you with all my other senses. Marriage vows - Wikipedia
Lust for life
Quantum mechanics and then on to quantum field theory, symmetry and symmetry breaking.
We can only go forward if we can see the way forward? Or just blunder on. I now find myself rejecting two historically embedded certainties: that God is other than the Universe, and that the fundamental process in the Universe is continuous. True continuity is nothing, symmetry. Only broken symmetries are observable [communicable].

Brown 5.8: 'In every other field theory the equations describe the behaviour of a physical field . . . within a constant and immutable arena of space and time, but the field equations of general relativity describe space and time themselves. The space-time metric is the field. . . . Spacetime plays a dual role in this theory, because it constitute both the dynamical object and the context in which the dynamics are defined.' Kevin Brown
'It is worth noting that Einsteinian gravity is possible only in
[page 2]
four dimensions because in any fewer dimensions the vanishing of the Ricci tensor Rμν implies the vanishing of the full Riemann tensor, which means no curvature and therfore no gravity in empty space.'
What is 'empty space'. Empty set?

Consensus: our basic tendency is to agree with our environment because this is frequently the best route to survival, ie people will be attracted to what everybody else is doing. Babies do it, somebody else's possession is more desirable that the same object perceived as being unowned.
A power of the network model is that it can explain the resistance to new ideas. This probably shows in the scientific literature where radical idea are seen to have a slow start but deep long term penetration. Wang et al, Science, 342:127. Dashun Wang, Chaoming Song, Albert-Laszlo Barabasi
'Paradigm changing discoveries have notoriously limited early impact, precisely because them ore a discovery deviates from the current paradigm, the longer it takes to be appreciated by the community.'
Explaining the resistance (and acceptance) of new ideas links the network model to gravitation, since both are in effect their own sources, ie they are self creating, so we like this to be a consequence of the fact that God is a real dynamic system which is consistent and mapping onto itself (since there is nothing outside it) and therefore most probably has fixed points, as we observe.

Ferguson: it is permissible to practise deception on an opponent, it is part of the game. At the same time we wish to maximize communication and cooperation in the home team. Insofar as we are all members of the home team known as Homo sapiens, we should be communicating truthfully with one another, and since our divine environment is invulnerable to deception (or perhaps it is vulnerable, which is how we coopt natural symmetries into our technology) . . . Adele Ferguson and Chris Vedelago
The orgasm is an archetypal completed (stationary) state, (halting). Others include swallow, excrete, hit etc etc, all conclusions to a dynamic process.
Insofar as gravitation is a matter of continuous and differentiable functions, it can say nothing, The only feature that contains information is the structure of flat space at every point. From an algorithmic information point of view, all these inertial frames are identical since they can all be continuously transformed into one another via the connection coefficients of covariant differentiation.
4-space satisfies the Dirac equation (?)
Can one continuously become orthogonal? Yes by rotation, but no because orthogonal to p means not-p and there is no continuous path from p to not-p. Metamorphosis. All motion is ultimately quantized [creation and annihilation].
Although it is taking a long time to write, effective_maths is improving all the time. Now we are down to two major paradigm changes: 1. No information in a continuum; 2. No distinction between God and the Universe (they are a
[page 4]
continuum [or symmetry]).
So we see the Universe as little bits of 4D [Minkowski space] communicating with one another digitally in a way that in the realm of large numbers approximates Einstein's application of differential geometry.
Scientific paper (any document): a packet of information (packet, envelope).
A Universe of interacting atoms (fixed points), the simplest of which is a piece of space maybe defined by Dirac's equation. We see this as a consequence of the observation that we are all individuals and the symmetry with respect to complexity represented mathematically by the notion that a set is a set, whether its cardinal is 0 or ℵn.
The smallest 'personality' may be a 'diron' and inside the diron we find the photon?

Since both photons and gravitons are bosons we might safely conlcude that the lowest physica layers of hte Universe has no spatial extension (and associated momentum?) unless there are fermions present. The existence of fermions suggests spatial extension which is acssociated with phase change for the massive particles but from the point of view of an observer, the phase of a photon does not change in its lifetime and there us no [inertial] frame in which a photon can be observed 'at rest'.4-entropy = bandwidth.

Everything a government does (or should do) comes down to public health.

What I am trying to do is produce a formal description fo myself as a network of processes, and use the principle of symmetry with resect to complexity to extrapolate this to less and more complex systems. I am my own microcosm and share the properties of networks with all other networks.
The Turing machine creates and destroys states in a deterministic way, the state being destroyed determining the state to be created.
Can I have any faith in my model? Quantization seems to be the key because once we have a set of physical symbols that interact with one another, the world of computing and networking opens before us.
We are trying to solve a problem: how do we fit in? There are two possible approaches: we do not fit in, we are aliens, strangers in a strange world awaiting rescue on the last day. For this position, the answer is we don't fit in. Given our knowledge of history, this is a preposterous position, since we obviously evolved like all the other species. We do fit in, but it is not often easy to see how. Our lives are sequences of events to be dealt with to keep things flowing safely and profitably. We share this problem with all living things, but sometimes we do not have an answer and suffer and perhaps die.
Night watching a flaming stag, waiting for it to fall across the road into an unburnt area. Nothing doing, but a beautiful still forest illuminated by a towering inferno of sparkling embers. Slept comfortably on the road for a few hours kept warm by a blazing log.
My proposed theological approach is an exercise in heuristic attitude. What am I depends a lot on what is my world. The alternatives considered here are the Christian view that the world is the creation of an invisible God rendered defective by human sin, and the vision proposed here that we and our world are divine.

The distinction between God and the World is a political artefact developed by those who want to exploit their ownership of God to control the World.
The size of the Dirac particle ('diron') is ℏ, this is the size of its inputs and outputs. It can talk to itself becasue it has three memories (dimensions of momentum).
Photon is a flattened diron.
