Note: The sub-plots are listed in the original

The Pantheism of
Victor’s Way
(Jina marga)
Order
≈ GOD The
belief that ALL (i.e. pan ≈ nature ≈ the universe) is GOD (Greek:
theus),
or ALL is (fundamentally) ONE, has been reported since about
800BCE. It tends to emerge
in older, more mature individuals given to observing the ‘bigger picture’,
Or, as Spinoza
called it, sub specie aeternitatis. What
the ALL is ONE belief suggests is that ALL (i.e. all particular, hence uncommon
1’s, i.e. the totality (as universe) of individual forms-as-bites-of-order) emerge from ONE
(common order source); and that, consequently, all emerged 1’s, as
elaborations of the one order source, are fundamentally identical with the ONE
(because they have order in common). Or,
to translate the notion into modern Information
Technology language, all (identifiable,
because ordered) 1’s emerge
as differential (thus
local) iterations-(as-applications)
of ONE (unidentifiable) Basic Creation
Platform (elsewhere
called either a Basic (order generating) Operating System or simply, i.e.
naively, GOD). In other words, all
(of n) specific because differentiated systems of order, now named eco-systems, emerge
(continuously) from, because ‘running on’ one Basic (thus general, thus undifferentiated) Order Generating Platform. The
infamous (because later
excommunicated) Irish monk, John
Scotus Eriugena (to wit, the Irishman, c. 815CE to c. 877CE), put it like
this: “It follows that we ought not to understand
God and the creatures as two things distinct from one another, but as one and the same. For both the creature, by subsisting, is in God; and
God, by manifesting himself in a marvellous and ineffable manner creates
himself in the creature.” (Periphyseon, III. 678c). The
ancient Indian Upanishads, ca. 800BCE, stated the same inference as: “Thou art That.” (Tat-tvam-asi). Translated
into modern Information Systems
Theory language, Eriugena’s observation reads as: ‘It follows that we ought not to understand
the Basic Order Generating Platform (elsewhere called
‘Portal’ or ‘Basic Operating System’) and its local differential iterations-cum-applications (i.e.
the creatures as emergent ≈ fractal elaborations) as two things distinct from one another, but
as one and the same. For both the application, by running on the
General Order Generating Platform, is the platform (i.e. GOD/theus);
and the platform (i.e. GOD) by emerging itself in a marvellous and ineffable
manner, emerges itself in the application.’ Further updated quotes
of Eriugena In other words, if GOD is conceived as Basic (or
‘ground’, so Meister Eckhart) Order Generating Platform (i.e. as initial set of constraints
acting as rules or laws) that turns/channels
disorder (to wit: entropy ≈ chaos) into order (i.e. anti-entropy), then
its emergents, i.e. its differential applications,
emerge as local (i.e.
specific or particular ≈ niche ≈ ecological) means of generating order. Moreover
the Basic Order Generating Platform, (i.e. GOD-)as-set-of-constrains,
happens as blind automaton that responds ubiquitously (i.e. ever-ready and everywhere) and of necessity.
And its applications (i.e. as identical, because copied recursively, differentials,
i.e. as ‘fractal elaborations’) emerge locally (i.e. as eco-systems) by chance (because ‘co-dependent on unpredictable conditions’, so the
Buddha) as distributed
network of limited order generating automatons. All emergents (i.e. all ‘creatures’
as on-going, thus surviving, applications that upgrade local order), from enzyme to
carrot to human, hence all eco-systems, self-adapt and self-select as
renewable (i.e.
replaceable), disposable self-constructed (i.e. self-adapted + self-driven) means≈ tools (as natural intelligence bites) that extend the continuance (i.e. as formal
survival) of the initial formless Basic Ordering Device (i.e. GOD as post Big Bang entropy
reversal platform). In
other words, the Basic Ordering System (i.e. GOD as order generating
platform) automatically (and recursively) copies and then applies itself (i.e. its platform of
constraints/rules) step-by-step,
moment-to-moment differentially,
thus generating quantised emergents as local (or
niche ≈ eco) ordering systems that function to serve as disposable
means to enhance the Basic Ordering System’s (i.e. GOD’s) basic
thrust/momentum, namely sustaining and increasing order and thereby
continuance, interpreted
by humans as survival. Thus does 21st century pantheism state that:
‘All local order generating apps. (as platforms
such as local religions-as-constraints ≈ ‘don’ts’ codes or the Traffic
Code) continuously
run on and emerge, step by step, from, therefore as, one Basic
Order Generating platform.’ The
local (i.e. eco-) order systems that survive and contribute to overall order
survival self-select by energetically (i.e. forcefully, violently and mercilessly) applying superior fitness (i.e. survival flexibility). If you
don’t get it, try the essays on the left of this page. If you’re still draw a
blank, simply observe how the apps on your mobile phone or tablet or all of
the creatures of nature operate. |
