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

Some readers, after concluding reading the Summa set,
posed the same question with which I started the

in the rst place: If Q4P,
why evil? Now, that question

was dealt with heavily in Book #1 and dealt with
again

But, let’s approach the question from one more angle,
a very rough analogy, as
we end this series.

The trip from the Old World

stormy and quite-lethal voyages across the Atlantic.
And even when the New World was reached, there was no
shortage of travail. But there was ‘advance.’
And we advance–forward.

APPENDIX P:
Optimization
The signature component of
Q4P
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
vents in
the depths of the ocean.
Optimization has “worked-out” the solution-path in
each case.
But, remember, optimization is the signature
component of Q4P, which in turn is at the heart
of Innite Divine Potential.
*
From Big Bangs to the evolution of snails, optimization will
be hard at work.
From advancing human consciousness,
to advancing
to advancing
peak-experiences, from the spiritual through the sexual,
optimization has a 24/7 “consulting contract.”
*
Both the optimization components of (Newtonian) calculus
and the iterative components of Mandelbrot fractals
are the (intertwined) mathematical threads here. They
presumably underpin the mathematical component,
which
which
I hypothesize to be present.
(All) the other elds and extraordinary dimensions
to this
to this
optimization component, presumably are intertwined–with,
and wrap-around, the math.
This may prove somewhat hard to clinically prove 🙂

APPENDIX O:
“Secular Divine”

“Religious Divine”
As noted elliptically in the text,
Q4P (Quest for Potential

works as a “Secular Divine” metaphysics and works
well as a “Religious Divine”* metaphysics.
But, either way, we are
dealing with an innitely radiating,

Because they were originally tributaries of the
