Aristotle and Thomas conceptualize the world in terms of potential and act. The modern version of these terms is entropy and information, Entropy measures the potential or possibility and information, numerically equal to the entropy, measures the actuality. Entropy corresponds to the moving elements of the dynamics [while the coin is spinning], information to the fixed points of the dynamics [when the coin has landed].

Promotion = narcissism. I love myself so you should love me. This is how to become a celebrity = showoff.
Sexy narcissism, the most powerful marketing tool? Works on me although it is not selling me anything I want. However, I am now tending toward no holds barred (in the bounds of

Mating is the archetypal process of sexual reproduction, introducing randomness through well separated [less correlated] genotypes.
There was a time in my youth when I first began to have erections that I liked to admire myself in the big hall mirror when everyone was out, although I knew it was a sin.

Insofar as the world is deterministic and predictable it can be known and engineered. This is the route to true salvation. The conservatives want to stick to the old system where they were the wealthy and powerful because it siphons more money and power to them. MONEY ≡ POWER (by definition?). Power and money are the measures of value, that is measures of influence over others.
My idea is to promote al this but to remain mainly anonymous, living behind the corporate veil. In a few years when the theory is complete and we move to the corporate phase selling the product and then t the political phase, convincing the majority to have faith lin our product.
Politicians are all over the place because they have failed to orthogonalize their personalities and their public powers.
Theology finds ideas at the the top of the web of knowledge, physics at the bottom.

What is my principal task next? Cleaning? Reading? Writing . . . ?
One might say the action best suited to achieving my various goals, clean house, power, wealth etc, naturally to be used for the god, ie promoting the study of scientific theology, ie the scientific study of theology.
The ethical and marketing question is is my product better than theirs? If this is yes in all relevant dimensions, eg price, environment impact etc, then go ahead. The Theology Company is set up to market the intellectual property embedded in the towards natural religion project.
An act is a symmetry break. The Universe is pure act meaning every symmetry broken so world is completely concrete but in a dynamic world the symmetries are stil there governing the symmetry breaking at a statistical level.

They key to salvation is that God is reliable, unlike our rather fickle and self serving politicians [who are nevertheless part of God!]
The existence of poverty is almost automatic when people are competing for a limited resource, which is just wages income for the workers in a 'pure capitalist' society. To prevent this we need some redistribution since it increases the spending power of the poor to the benefit of the businesses they are buying from. Back to the Hilbert Oscillator. An essay on the divinity of money
Money buys (other people's) time.

What's stopping me now? The whole thing is work of imagination, of course, and although I find it fits here and there, there are plenty of open questions which I have to deal with as I slowly prepare the product for market. The first person I have got to convince is myself, and highlights on the way like transfinite numbers and fixed point theory have led me on. So I have to set up a physical datum which has taken a long time partly because I find modern physics hard to understand. I have introduced the network model for my own use and now find it is a good fit to quantum mechanics [via communication theory].
The numerical entropy in the Boltzmann calculation is ℵ1, the cardinal of the set of permutations of ℵ0 identifiable particles. But log (ℵn) = ℵn - 1, so the logarithmic scale makes entropy additive rather than multiplicative. This relationship between the first two transfinite numbers is the paradigm for the [pairwise] relationship between all the other transfinite cardinals in the Cantor universe.
Let Universal Turing machines live in the Cantor universe.

Marketing: exhibit the product / the personality behind it. The first has to be real. The second may be the work of spin doctors. So how do I propagate my views. The answer keeps coming back: through academia, the trusted interface.
The answer to Jihad is real religion, based on science.

Theology is the study of history at the largest scale in space and time It begins at the beginning and tells us about the end.
CercignaniBoltzmann's statistical mechanics is based on the meaningful ordering of N molecules to give O(N!) states. Botzmann's prblem (or one of them) was to devise a suitable coordinate system ([identification and] binning) to count the states. Cercignani Cercignani: Ludwig Boltzmann, Big O notation - Wikipedia
Penrose in Cercignani page Viii: '. . . it was another of Boltzmann's fundamental conclusions to give precision to the very notion of entropy, by identifying it with a specific multiple of the volume in hase space defined by the macroscopic parameters specifying the state of the system. Accordingly, Boltzmann showed how the second law could become amenable to precise mathematical treatment.
