Absolutism 6 – Modern Gods – State[ment]verse
The most convincing and the oldest God is the relation(s) between any ‘two’ states/statements/entities/existence, which by the way itself is/are independent statements.
The modern Gods are many but all relate to this notion of relation(s). It relates to expansion of one’s existence and thus of one’s certainty. The ideas of Physics – the most fundamental science, and other sciences, the idea such as laws or principles or fundamental laws of Nature, the idea of dynamics, causality, other ideas in Physics, the idea of Quantum mechanical probability distribution, of imaginary wavefunction in Quantum Physics and other ideas, the idea that is Physics, the ideas of Mathematics – its axiomatic structures, the idea that is Mathematics, the ideas in and that is Logic, and many more. These are all Modern Gods. Even my idea of State[ment]verse, of/about NOTHING, i.e. the idea that is ‘NOTHING’ – that is of/about NOTHING in terms of something, is the idea of or about the ‘Absolute’, it is Modern God.
Consider the conservation or invariance principle or idea in Physics. For example, first matter/mass (rest mas) was thought to be conserved, then it was found that the amount of matter changed. Later this ‘conservation’/’invariance’ thing and its definition was expanded and generalized to include energy as well. So now matter-energy was the conserved or invariable quantity in the universe. Similarly, we earlier considered Euclidean space and Galilean transformations and their corresponding invariance and invariant quantities, then expanded this to Special Relativistic Invariants and invariance in its corresponding transformation – the Lorentz transformation. Then later this was generalized further to General Theory of Relativity and the invariants and invariance to its corresponding invariants and invariances in this more General space of existence.
We all are constantly trying to find that which is absolutely invariant i.e. is Absolute (absolute absolute). The fundamental/more fundamental, and eventually the most fundamental, laws of Nature, that includes and extends beyond Einstein’s relativity, all are that search for that ‘Absolute’. These, so called “laws” or workings, of Nature is indeed the modern God(s). Our quest for that absolute (relative or absolute), that Permanence (relative or absolute) or Immortality (relative or absolute), is still going on.
In the early days, we devised something like deities to explain the happenings around, all in search for certainty and to ensure our control over the surrounding, be it body or otherwise, and thus try to ensure survival or increase our chance of further existence and make it as stable as possible, potentially to forever. This is nothing other that the ‘climbing the steps of the infinite ladder of Immortality’ and the eventual search for the Absolute – the Permanent.
Just as in case of conservation and the invariance and the laws of Nature, we are constantly searching for the Absolute – the Permanent/Immortal, in the ideas of Aatma – ‘I’/’self’.
Similarly, the idea(s) of past lives, rebirth, and others, in/from Sanatana Dharma (“Hinduism”) are there to explain the happenings around, all in search for certainty and to ensure our ‘control’ over the surrounding, be it body or otherwise, and thus ‘try’ to ensure survival or increase our chance of further existence and make it as stable as possible, aiming to the ‘forever’ – the infinite existence – the Permanence – the Complete [Purna/Purnah] – the Absolute.
Now referring to the State[ment]verse, in the idea of State[ment]verse, the states/statements/entities/existence are fundamentally not related, but are related in conventional sense of the ‘world’ or universe or NATURE. There are just statements/states, one the complement of the ‘other’, the ‘Not’/’Not-statement’ of the ‘other’, the nothing/non-existence of the ‘other’.
That which is truely inductive, i.e. is the basis, that defines & creates, and lays down the (foundation), and truely expresses, supports, satisfies, and brings into existence the “Law of Induction” is the Absolute. This is one of the properties of the Absolute. That Absolute is Nothing, Absolute NOTHING.
This is because Nothing is all-pervading [Visñu], even beyond time, beyond ‘space(s)’.
All-pervading [Visñu] is all-pervading [Visñu], even beyond time, beyond ‘space(s)’.
