One cannot change the data, only the interpretation of the data. What I am trying to think is that the ultimate
[page 159]
quantum of action is identical to God. Here I face a problem that has been with me for a long time, and might be solved by fiat: all quanta of action are the same size since there is no prior measure. The smallest and the largest events are equivalently divine and enjoy all the properties of divinity. This is equivalent to the idea that Father and Son are both divine events and that we may see the Spirit as the rate of communication between them, ie energy. To some extent this may overcome the timing problem, but it seems very far out, but it is base from which to work until a better one appears.
All quanta of action are omnino simplex in themselves, simply events, but they are in effect the outputs of computations covering the whole spectrum of computable functions from no operation [asymptotic] to the 'wave function of the Universe'
I suppose I go on because something tells me I can do it and the outcome would appear to be well worth a lifetime of work, for me and the rest of the divine world.
h / c = ML2T-1 / LT-1 = ML, meaning?
How can a quantum of action be the whole history of the Universe? Because a point carries information equal to the entropy of the space in which it exists.
The information of an act is equal to the entropy of the space in which it occurs, and since all the spaces in the Universe are ultimately coupled by the transfinite network with transfinitely diminishing coupling constants [to maintain normalization?], every event to some extent carries [represents] the whole personality (class of observables) of the Universe.
[page 160]
Space is defined by its method of addressing. We imagine that three space exists because a 3D addressing system can join any two points without having to go through a third point. Ie no crossed wires. Once we reach 3D there us no need to go any further and given the fundamental and deeply embedded nature of 3-space, we cannot do this anyway. This idea is hard to reconcile with the string theorists' rolled up dimensions, but on the other hand it takes us much further because 3D space enables universal private [orthogonal to the rest of the world] communication which, with the addition of universal turing machines, gives us all we need to construct the Universe thart we see.
Now off to do a bit of construction. My hand trembles from previous heavy work. It takes a while to get back into fine motor mode.
Perhaps the biggest technological breakthrough of the twentieth century is that, with the help of Claude Shannon and many others, we have learnt to measure information. Once we could measure it we could learn to control it and the result has been modern digital communication networks. As Shannon discovered, the key to control is digitization.
An act is an act and has no intrinsic measure. It is measured only by the entropy of the space in which it occurs. The Universe as a whole being its own space has no constraints placed upon it by anything outside it. This is true to a fair degree in our own mental states, which may range far beyond anything even remotely observable, like Harry Potter magic that upsets the magical Church, which claims a monopoly on magic.

A photon is a packet of energy with spin 1. Inside the packet are all the other spins which embody the energy of the photon [? Maybe no prior spin, but the emergence of photons and spin 1 (orthogonal to the energy - photons of all energies have spin 1) occur together, the first emergent spatial dimension].
Embodiment brings about the relativity of transfinity, ie a two state system embodies ℵ0 = 2.
Quantitative easing: potential + actual energy = 0. Country increases cash [actual] available by going into debt (selling bonds) [potential] to generate more cash.

The fundamental problem is to map the digital to the core onto the data [should be easy, all the data are digital!]. Time to go back to the theory: digital_core. You cannot see a continuum, there is no information there.
Lonergan pioneered the logical approach from which I got to [the equation] 'collapse of the wave function' = insight. Collapse of ψ = choice? Simultaneous appearance of possibility and making the choice - symmetry broken as soon as it appears. Lonergan: Insight
Energy is the network clock.
Russell page 111: 'When Gregory VII was engaged in enforcing the celibacy of the clergy, he called in the help of the laity who, even when happily married themselves, were delighted at the opportunity of persecuting parish priests and their wives.
'It is the strength of this impulse in human nature that makes democracy necessary. Democracy is desirable, not because the ordinary voter has any political wisdom, but because any section of mankind which has a monopoly of power is sure to
[page 162]
invent theories designed to prove that the rest of mankind had better do without the good things in life. This is one if the least amiable traits in human nature but history shows that there is no adequate protection against it except the just distribution of political power throughout all classes and both sexes.'

I spend a lot of time messing about in the guts of quantum mechanics trying to show that it is consistent with the fixed points in divine (completely unconstrained) dynamics. We ooze along like a tectonic plate, making larger and smaller steps forward [as the opportunity presents] almost every day.
Most religious systems devalue visible reality in some way or another and replace the visible with an invisible (and by definition, better) world to which we are encouraged to aspire. Natural theology reverses this trend by making everyday reality divine and suggesting that we treat it as such. This requires some hard decisions because the real world is more difficult to deal with than the rather magical and fanciful ideas taken down by the writers of religious texts. The idea behind natural religion is that our remembered experience of the world [is the text that should guide us through the world] Memory fixed point ('written down') or fixable point, as in computer RAM etc.
Every passage of arms takes a quantity of life equal to the probability of fatality. ?
The propagator: every act of propagation involves an integral number of quanta of action and it is one event probability =
[page 163]
quantum of action = 1.
Probabilities greater than 1 simply mean that many things happen and we can normalize to one by dividing by the probability we have calculated.
Mind too congested to write : gridlock. But love the isomorphism between Hilbert space and the transfinite computer network [both are function spaces].
The network is driven locally by the invisible divine dynamics whose fixed points we can often observe.
The structure of space plays a part in interactions, eg inverse square law. [space is a deterministic mechanism ?]
A physical fixed point (property) can be associated with a meaning to carry information, which is the case with the ink on this page.
Put my milo in the microwave and forgot it. Then suddenly remembered and executed a string of action to get it out of the oven onto the table. We may interpret this string of actions as a muli-dimensional fixed point in the human phase space of which my Central Nervous System is an orthogonal subspace executing real algorithms to keep me fed (for instance) and to write this reflection comparing this event to a quantum event, a well defined event occurring at a random time when I 'suddenly remembered' (before the drink went cold again).

Establishing one to one correspondence between Hilbert space and the transfinite network [they are both function spaces].
The Catholic Church is based on a fundamental error, that you can redeem the world by murdering people.
Is quantum mechanics the incorporation of set theory ⊃ logic.
The incorporation of the transfinite computer network, realization [physical embodiment].
