Set-theoretic, scientific, and theological ontology

This is a demonstration of set-theoretic, scientific, and theological ontology with discussion of correlating scientific material about ‘God’.

This is a research project to investigate the theory of proving monism panpsychism from logical tautologies of the empty set, and verifying the ontology with scientific facts.

Historically ontology has been the domain of philosophy, but modern set theory and science may now have enough potency to develop a set-theoretic and scientific ontology; an ontology that is a logical necessity, falsifiable, and verified by every correlating physics experiment so far constructed and analyzed. In other words, with the logical tautologies of the empty set, conservation of energy, mass-energy equivalence, zero-point energy, the nature of power, and experiments demonstrating psychic functioning; monism panpsychism is logically proved and empirically verified.

If the universe really is an eternal consciousness (that’s what monism panpsychism implies) then the question is; has the universe in total ever interacted with man? Should we expect it to care about us or interfere with our lives? This has been the claim of many religions. Probable interactions of God with man is presented discussing the global flood, the apparent time frame for the creative ‘days’, Sodom and Gomorrah,…etc All together these demonstrate God’s existence and therefore give weight to the set-theoretic and scientific ontology of monism panpsychism as God’s nature.

Set-theoretic ontology

|-(∃!{}), assuming nothing, it follows that there is an assuming. This particular assuming, having no content, amounts to the existence of one empty set or the concept nothing.

({}≡{}), nothing is nothing; Law of Identity

({}={}), nothing equals nothing

({}→{}), nothing implies nothing; Reflexivity of Implication

({}:{}→{}), nothing has the property of nothing; Identity Morphism

(∃{}→∃{}), nothing exists as nothing

({}>>{}), nothing causes nothing

({}⊃{}), nothing is made of nothing

nothing is nondescript

nothing is nonexistence

nowhere and at no time has nothing existed

Fundamental theorem of ontology;

[|-(∃!{})]⇒[({}≡{})]⇒[({}={})∧({}→{})∧({}:{}→{})∧(∃{}→∃{})]

({}={})∧({}→{})

nothing equals nothing and nothing implies nothing

ergo nothing is not implicated with something

Note; “nothing is not…”, is the contraposition of “everything is…”

ergo everything is implicated with something

Note; Two or more things that are in a way implicated with each other can be understood as one thing implicated with itself. e.g. If a group of cells (such as the ones that make up your body) are in a way implicated with each other, they can be understood as one thing (namely your body) implicated with itself i.e. you are cybernetic.

ergo something is self-implicated

Note; Relevant implication suggests causation and is correlation.

ergo something is self-correlated

When it is impossible for there to be missing variables correlation necessarily is causation. Since everything is implicated here it is impossible for there to be missing variables for this correlation. Therefore this correlation is causation.

ergo something is self-causal Q.E.D.

Note; “causal” is not in the same declension as “caused”; the latter refers to an event in time, the former refers to a process through time. Self-causal means self-deterministic or teleological. Self-determinism is consciousness.

({}={})∧(id{}:{}→{})

nothing equals nothing and nothing has the property of nothing

ergo Nothing is nondescript. - Something is self-descriptive.

Note; Endomorphic self-description is self-manifestation.

({}={})∧(∃{}→∃{})

nothing equals nothing and nothing exists as nothing

ergo Nothing is nonexistence. - Something has the particular characteristics of existence.

[({}→{})∧(id{}:{}→{})]⇒({}⊃{})

nothing implies nothing and nothing has the property of nothing

ergo Nothing is made of nothing. - Everything is made of something.

[({}→{})∧(∃{}→∃{})]⇒({}>>{})

nothing implies nothing and nothing exists as nothing

ergo Nothing causes nothing. - everything causes something.

(id{}:{}→{})∧(∃{}→∃{})

nothing has the property of nothing and nothing exists as nothing

ergo Nowhere and at no time has nothing existed. - Something has always existed everywhere.

One thing is self-causal and has the particular characteristics of existence.

Proof–The true definition of a thing neither involves nor expresses anything beyond the particular characteristics of the thing defined. From this it follows that–No definition implies or expresses how many individuals of the defined thing exist. There is necessarily for each individual existent thing a cause why it should exist. This cause of existence must either be contained in the particular characteristics and definition of the thing defined, or must be postulated apart from such definition. If a given number of individuals of a particular thing exist, there must be some cause for the existence of exactly that number, neither more nor less. Consequently, the cause of each of them, must necessarily be sought externally to each individual thing. It therefore follows that, everything which may consist of several individuals must have an external cause. And, as it has been shown already that existence appertains to the particular characteristics of something, existence must necessarily be included in its definition; and from its definition alone existence must be deducible. But from its definition we cannot infer the existence of several things; therefore it follows that there is only one thing that is self-causal and has the particular characteristics of existence. Q.E.D.

[adaptation from the end of Note II, PROP. VIII, Of God, Spinoza’s Ethics]

Reality has the particular characteristics of existence (which is one thing that is also self-causal). Therefore everything is made of one thing. But self-causal means self-deterministic. In other words, it is consciousness. Therefore reality is a monism panpsychism.

Nowhere and at no time has nothing existed. Therefore this one thing has always existed everywhere.

Every cause (and every effect) of reality is part of the self-causal aspect of reality. Therefore the monism panpsychism (that is eternal and omnipresent) is also omnipotent.

Therefore an eternal, omnipresent, omnipotent consciousness-substance exists.

Discussion;

‘Logical’ concepts such as “in a way” and “can be understood as” are not yet resolved or expressed in any known mathematical logic. While I have laid the framework for the foundations of this ontological set-theoretic expression through the use of the empty set, a formal mathematical proof is still needed. I predict that the unique English logic found in this work may inspire future developments in proof-theoretic semantics.

Scientific ontology

These are the physics scientific facts of the theory of ontology;

(∑E=Ek+Ep), conservation of energy[1], energy cannot be created nor destroyed, it merely transforms from one form into another; therefore energy is eternal

(E=mc^2), mass energy equivalence[2][3]; mass is a form of energy; therefore energy is immanently omnipresent

(E=ħω/2), zero point energy[4][5][6][7]; there is a particular amount of energy in ever single point in space; therefore energy is ‘transcendently’ omnipresent

(P=∫∇Edv), power is the integral of gradient energy with respects to velocity, power is the transformation of energy (the transforming of one form into another)

Definitions and discovery;

a “thing” is that which exists

energy exists

energy is an eternal and omnipresent thing

forms of energy are also things; they are finite endomorphisms of energy

all forms of energy are in energy (surrounded by other endomorphisms of energy) and made of energy

all energy is in the state of forms of energy; it’s a morphism

“everything” equals energy and it’s endomorphisms (forms)

every “transformation” (one form of energy converting into another form of energy) preserves the unitary manifold of energy

a “cause” is the reason for a transformation

all reasons for transformation imply that energy may be an including reason for all transformations

if so, then energy is an eternal and omnipresent reason

every form of energy may contain all reasons hologically

Therefore eternal and omnipresent energy may be hologically omniscient

To prove this, notice the following scientific fact;

there is an omnidirectional convergence of radiation into every single point in space i.e. there is an image of an omnidirectional perspective of the universe in every single point in space (in every frequency, spin, and momentum of energy but to varying degrees)

this is a type of hology

Therefore every form of energy is holomorphic

Therefore eternal and omnipresent energy is a holomorphism; Therefore, it has omnipotence.

To prove this, notice it solves the paradoxes;

(1) Energy cannot create a rock (a small form of energy) that more energy cannot lift, and

(2) Energy cannot destroy itself; power is the transformation of energy not the destruction of energy!

Every cause involves energy. This suggests that energy is self-causal. Self-causal means self-deterministic or teleological. Self-determinism is consciousness!

To prove that energy is self-causal (and therefore consciousness); our particular consciousness would produce psychic functioning; such as telekinesis[8][9], telepathy[10], clairvoyance[11], precognition[12], biokinesis[13], coherence[14], and correlations[15].

In a deduction the truth value of the premises transfers to the conclusion. If the premises are scientific facts, then the conclusion is a scientific fact!

In conclusion; it’s a scientific fact that energy is an eternal, omnipresent, holomorphism that is omniscient and omnipotent; that is consciousness!

Discussion;

From a pragmatic perspective, we need to find an engineering model for consciousness. I predict that future developments of quantum consciousness theory will find that quantum coherence or it’s correlates are equal to kinetic energy and quantum decoherence or it’s correlates are equal to potential energy; such that quantum recursion (the transformation between the two) amounts to consciousness or energy.

Theological ontology

Ancient Religious Text has Prior Art in ontology

The eternal, omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent consciousness-energy is a theological correlate (something that is structurally isomorphic to claims of Divinity);

“In him [Zeus] we have life and move and exist.”-Epimendies, Edict from Zeus.

“The Dao is the ground of all being.”-Loazi, Dao De Jing.

“Brahmin is the source of all material worlds, everything springs from him.”-Gita, Bagava.

“Jehovah himself fills the heavens and the earth.”-Jeremiah, Tanouck.

“Due to the abundance of dynamic energy, he also being vigorous in power, not one of them [stars] is missing”-Isaiah, Tanouck.

“…His… [qualities] are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power,.,”-Paul, Romans

In other words, it has the same properties as the Divine. By the identity of indescernibles, the axiom of extensionality, and the theory of theological correlation, this one thing is the Divine. Therefore the Divine necessarily and factually exists. QED.

Deluge Geology, Radio Dating Inaccuracy, and Creative ‘Days’ (theory)

(1) the radioactive decay rate is NOT a constant; neutrino intensity definitely effects the radioactive decay rate.[16]

The higher the neutrino intensity the lower the radioactive decay rate.

(2) atmospheric electrons backscatter neutrinos increasing the intensity of neutrino radiation towards the earth (the atmosphere is a converging lens to neutrinos)

An Earth with a larger atmosphere (such as one that had all the oceanic water as a gas or plasma in a gigantic ionosphere) would increase the intensity of neutrino radiation towards the earth and given fact 1, lower the radioactive decay rate of radioisotopes.

(3) the continental plates fit together completely on a smaller Earth; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cnEkFofRFx0

(4) land fossils prove most of the Earth continental plates have been dry land

(5) on a smaller Earth (with all the continental plates put back together) the oceanic water would cover the entire Earth

(6) given fact 4, and 5, it follows that the oceanic water in the past was not on land (rather it must have been in the atmosphere so that it could fall to Earth).

(7) given fact 3, and 6, it follows that the Earth was smaller with a gigantic gaseous or plasma water canopy

(8) given fact 5, and 7, it follows that there was a global flood!!!

(9) but given 2, and 7, it follows that the radioactive decay rate was significantly lower before the flood

(10) given 9, the radio dating methods that assume constants in the radioactive decay rates are absolutely inaccurate (though still having good precision)

(11) the flood must be the last mass extinction event

(12) the K-T iridium aerosols [presumably from meteoroids] and any possible volcanic ash would have acted like cloud condensation nuclei, cloud seeding the deluge

(13) if God saved all the original animals in the Ark then the genera after the flood (notice blue line) matches the genera at Adam’s creation (notice yellow line) proving God saved all the original animals; https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Phanerozoic_Biodiversity-2.png

(14) If we assume that Adam was 44a when Eve was born and that the creative days are 221Ma (according to the dating inaccuracy) then a creative day is 9,500 years

Eve became the Mother of Seth at 86a. Genesis 5:3 Seth became the father of Enosh at 105. Genesis 5:6 Enosh became the father of Kenan at 90. Genesis 5:9 Cainan became the father of Mahalalel at 70. Genesis 5:12 Mahalalel became the father of Jared at 65. Genesis 5:15 Jared became the father of Enoch at 162. Genesis 5:18 Enoch became the father of Methuselah at 65. Genesis 5:21 Methuselah became the father of Lamech at 187. Genesis 5:25 Lamech became the father of Noah at 182. Genesis 5:28 The Flood started when Noah was 600. Genesis 7:6

(86+105+90+70+65+162+65+187+182+600)=1612a of creative day seven [Eve’s creation to the flood]

1612a*221/37.5=9500 [this is a creative day]

Fifth day

510 Ma the first fish, the jawless ostracoderms.

410 Ma the first fish with jaws, the acanthodians.

365 Ma the tetrapods.

350 Ma the dragonfly (the first flying creatures were insects).

340 Ma the amniotes.

And God went on to say: Let the waters swarm forth a swarm of living souls and let flying creatures fly over the earth upon the face of the expanse of the heavens. And God proceeded to create the great monsters and every living soul that moves about, which the waters swarmed forth according to their kinds, and every winged flying creature according to its kind. And God got to see that [it was] good. … And there came to be evening and there came to be morning, a fifth day. (Genesis 1:20-23)

Surprisingly enough, the flying creatures in this verse is not birds (as many may have thought), rather, it is insects!

Sixth day

285 Ma the therapsids.

230 Ma the dinosaurs.

225 Ma the first true mammals, Gondwanadon tapani or Morganucodon watsoni.

150 Ma the first bird, Archaeopteryx.

And God went on to say: Let the earth put forth living souls according to their kinds, domestic animal and moving animal and wild beast of the earth according to its kind. And it came to be so. And God proceeded to make the wild beast of the earth according to its kind and the domestic animal according to its kind and every moving animal of the ground according to its kind. And God got to see that [it was] good. (Genesis 1:24, 25)

As you can see this work clarified our understanding of the bible (first flying creatures are insects) and the creation of the other animals matches the day of their biblical creation

(15) since the creation of Eve to the present it’s been about 6000a

(16) Tyranusourus Rex fossils are dated between the creation of Eve and the date of the Flood; somewhere around 800a of creative day seven or ~5,200 years ago (inaccurately dated to 80Ma)

How old is this T. Rex blood and soft tissue? 5,200 years old or 80 MILLION years old?

I predict that the soft tissue found in T. Rex bone will Carbon 14 date to around 5,200 years old!

This will verify my theory about the Deluge Geology, Radio Dating Inaccuracy, and Creative ‘Days’.

That said, how could man, birds, and land animals have survived the deluge?

According to the bible (and over a hundred of other ancient sources), there was a great flood that destroyed the ancient world, for which, the gods spared some men and animals.

Jehovah claimed to cause the flood. In any cause we must grant at least the existence of advanced extraterrestrials (or gods exist or even that God exists) such that they could have spared some men, otherwise, mankind and all the animals on land could not have possibly survived such an event.

Ron Wyatt found a formation in the mountains of Ararat of petrified wood in the shape of a boat having the same length as described of the Ark in the Bible; https://i.pinimg.com/originals/55/8a/cb/558acb1d59f1dab953c3fcaa16cc2670.jpg

Discussion;

Birds are not spoken of in the creative days as flying creatures because the first birds originally did not strictly fly about; “Gliding, not strong flight: Fossil evidence suggests that Archaeopteryx and other early birds had weaker feathers and skeletal structures that were not strong enough for sustained, powered flight, but were likely capable of gliding between trees or other high points. Flight developed later: Powered flight developed over time, with some ancient birds evolving the flight-friendly feather structures of modern birds later in the Cretaceous period.”-Google AI

The Ark found by Ron Wyatt is located at the base of the mountains of Ararat, not “on” them (as is otherwise so translated). But no worries, the word translated “on” can actually be translated as “among, at, or touching”.

Um . . . OK. If you could clarify your thoughts?

I am having trouble following you.

Oh dear oh dear, having skipped a lot of the preceding word salad I chanced on this gem. Which immediately called every other sentence in this overlong post into doubt.

Groan, not this nonsense again.

Panpsychism is untestable, and unevidenced. I shan’t feign surprise that no major news network seems to be aware of the paradigm shifting claims, they are yet again breaking from some “Billy-no-name” in a small internet chatroom.

The question is what evidence can you demonstrate for the IF at the start of that sentence, everything after it is coloured bubbles.

The geological record demonstrates unequivocally that no global flood has ever occurred.

Woo woo unevidenced nonsense roundly contradicted by any number of scientific facts.

Unevidenced myths about magic, etc etc..

Unevidenced magic is real…therefore god, it’s pretty simple.

As @sheldon has already pointed out, the key word here is if. As long as you have not demonstrated the assumption/statement between if and then to be demonstrably empirical fact, it all remains a hypothetical exercise that is not connected to the real world.

In short: you seem to have put your effort into the deduction part, and ignored checking if your assumptions make sense.

Edit: “energy exists” - well, that is debatable. Energy is an abstract quantity that is conserved assuming time symmetry in physical law (Noether’s theorem). Likewise, linear momentum is a conserved quantity when physical law is invariant to spatial translation. These are mathematical abstractions of natural processes, and it is therefore debatable whether they exist as such, depending on how you define existence.

Oh dear.

The amount of neutrino flux that would be needed to alter alpha decay rate,s to fit creationist garbage about the universe being only 6,000 years old, would be far in excess of that preceding a supernova detonation. NOT going to happen around a G2 star.

Another gigantic Gish Gallop of gibberish.

Somehow, I am reminded of the following quote from Douglas Adams (the Babel fish argument), which strikes me as almost, but quite, entirely irrelevant in this setting:

“Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mind-bogglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as the final and clinching proof of the non-existence of God.

The argument goes something like this: “I refuse to prove that I exist,'” says God, “for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.”

“But,” says Man, “The Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn’t it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don’t. QED.”

“Oh dear,” says God, “I hadn’t thought of that,” and promptly vanishes in a puff of logic.

“Oh, that was easy,” says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.”

If you look closely, you will notice that I did not claim that the universe is 6,000 years old. Actually I proved that each creative day is 9,500 years long.

Anyway, I think the creation of ‘the heavens and the earth’ is not the creation of the universe, rather it’s the creation of the atomic based gallaxies… where energy in some other form already existed.

It’s true, it is a simple calculation.
