APPENDIX R: More Powerful v. Perfect The proposed Summa metaphysics is not perfect. Perfection is hard to come by when trying to get one’s arms around the innite. However, Summa would respectfully appear to be quite signicantly more powerful and elegant than the competing known metaphysics formulations offered to date (over the past three to […]

APPENDIX Q: Q4P ∞ juxtaposed v. Vicissitude Some readers, after concluding reading the Summa set, posed the same question with which I started the series in the rst place: If Q4P, why evil? Now, that question was dealt with heavily in Book #1 and dealt with again intermittently over the course of Book #2. But, […]

Filed under Uncategorized.
APPENDIX P: Optimization The signature component of Q4P (Quest for Potential ∞ /Extraordinariation) is optimization. The component will tend to optimize anything and everything. * For example, life on earth will emerge both on the oxygen- sustained surface, as well as in toxic hydrothermal vents in the depths of the ocean. Optimization has “worked-out” the […]

APPENDIX O: “Secular Divine” v. “Religious Divine”

Comments Off on APPENDIX O: “Secular Divine” v. “Religious Divine”.
Filed under Uncategorized.
APPENDIX O: “Secular Divine” v. “Religious Divine” As noted elliptically in the text, Q4P (Quest for Potential ∞ /Extraordinariation) works as a “Secular Divine” metaphysics and works well as a “Religious Divine”* metaphysics. But, either way, we are dealing with an innitely radiating, innitely-grasping consciousness, and innitely–grasping power: The Divine. One cannot posit transcendent, energizing […]

Filed under Uncategorized.
APPENDIX N: Extraordinariation juxtaposed v. tohu va-vohu One can hypothesize that Extraordinariation is juxtaposed against tohu va-vohu (the empty chaotic nothingness). *a To take matters further, one can hypothesize that to keep the cosmos from imploding back into nothingness, Extraordinariation must advance with more dynamism and richness outward, than tohu va-vohu pulls inward. This theme […]

APPENDIX M: Is Q4P Morally Neutral?

Comments Off on APPENDIX M: Is Q4P Morally Neutral?.
Filed under Uncategorized.
APPENDIX M: Is Q4P ∞ Morally Neutral? That does not appear to be the case. “Giving-ness” is crucial for child-rearing, and child-rearing is crucial for cosmic Q4P. And “giving-ness” is clearly identiable with “good” (at least by me). Presumably “giving-ness” was crucial to creation itself, but I have not discerned the play there. As readers […]

APPENDIX L: Life Life would appear to be both – – an end in and of itself of Q4P as well as – a portal to greater Q4P These rich and crucial themes need to be developed.

APPENDIX K: Cracking the Cosmic Code* Physics attempts to do so. Secular philosophy attempts to do so. Religious philosophy attempts to do so. All hit major “roadblocks.” Why is that? *or more precisely, unraveling another crucial layer or two of the cosmic code Because, the code–breaker is Quest for Potential ∞ / Extraordinariation, (Q4P), which […]

APPENDIX J: Convergence All roads lead to the innite fount of Quest for Potential ∞ . Religion, spirituality, the life sciences, physics, chemistry, astronomy et al. all converge on the road to Innity. They do not quite merge, as the quest for ultimate innity is elusive, but they do converge. In our quasi–nite milieu they […]

APPENDIX I: Balance and Diversity To focus rst on our own planet, balance of life and diversity of life are embedded in the overarching theme of Quest for Potential ∞ /Extraordinariation. …..which maneuvers on an ongoing basis to protect and advance* these two important “sub-motifs,” among others. *balance of life is maintained to protect survival
