Every identifiable reality as Temple of the
Universal Procedure Why each emergent s a
real-time embodiment of UP (“God”) By the druid Finn 1. Clarifying the Claim (No Mysticism, No Teleology) The
druid’s statement “Every emergent is a temple of the UP” does not
mean: ·
that each emergent is divine in a moral or
devotional sense, ·
that UP is a conscious agent, ·
or that emergents
“contain” God. It means,
precisely: UP has no
global point of view (i.e.
no absolute reference base) and no
place to appear except as local, bounded instantiations. Therefore,
whatever UP “is” operationally, it can only be real (and identifiable)
in real time as an emergent. There is no UP
apart from its (constrained and limited) runs. The procedure exists
only as execution. 2. Why Emergence Necessarily Embodies UP The
Universal Procedure is defined as an invariant generative (Turing Machine style) rule-set
operating on random inputs under constraints. Such a procedure: ·
is not an object, ·
has no location, ·
has no phenomenology, ·
has no identity apart from its instantiations. Hence: UP (just like the Daoist TAO) cannot be encountered,
pointed to, or even meaningfully spoken of except through the emergents it produces. An
emergent is not a product separate from UP; it is UP in execution under
local constraints. This is a strict computational analogy: ·
A program has no reality except when running. ·
The running instance is not “part of” the
program; it is the program instantiated. So: Each
emergent is UP occurring locally, in real time, as an identifiable reality. This is
the precise sense in which one may say “God” without theology: “God” = the
Universal Procedure insofar as it is presently executing as this bounded
reality. 3. Temple as Reference Frame: Why the Embodiment Is
Local A temple
is a bounded reference frame in which an invariant order becomes locally
readable and operational. By extension: ·
Each emergent defines: o its own
boundary, o its own
internal coordinates, o its own
continuation conditions. Thus each emergent: cuts a (transient, conditional) local frame out of the
invariant field (of
random events) and
enacts UP within it. UP is
globally invariant (wholly unspecified, because unbounded, unconstrained) but locally embodied. The emergent is therefore
a “temple” because: ·
it is the only place where UP is presently
real, ·
it is the only site where UP is procedurally
readable (as behaviour, structure, interaction, hence as identity), ·
it is the only way UP has any address (i.e. identity) at all. There is no UP “behind” the emergent. There is only UP as
emergent. 4. Real-Time Embodiment: Why the Embodiment Is Actual,
Not Symbolic The
embodiment is not representational. The emergent does not “stand for” UP; it is
UP in operation. This
removes all metaphor: ·
Not: the emergent is a sign of God (in fact: “Everyone is God in their space”) ·
But: the emergent is the actual running
instance of the generative rule-set Thus: Every
identifiable reality is UP executing itself under local constraints. There is
no additional layer where UP is more real than its instantiations. The
procedure is exhausted by its executions. 5. Why There Are Many “Gods” Without Polytheism If UP has
no centre and no privileged instantiation, then: Each emergent is a full local execution of UP. This
yields: ·
no hierarchy of beings in relation to UP (to wit: “No wrong. Only variations of right”) ·
no privileged vessel, ·
no chosen location of “divinity.” Formally: There are
n embodiments of UP at any moment, each equally UP, none more UP than
another. This is
not polytheism (multiple agents), but multi-instantiation of a single (i.e. mono) invariant
procedure. In
compressed form: One
procedure, many runs. 6. Identity and “God-Experience” as Local Coherence If an emergent
maintains operational coherence (i.e., it successfully continues, indeed
completes, under constraints), then: ·
its “being” is nothing other than UP working
locally, ·
its felt
real identity is the local continuity of the procedure. Thus: To be an
identifiable reality is to be a real-time God-event, without any godhood,
intention, or transcendence (hence:
“I am
the God experience”) “God-experience” here
means only: the
experience of local coherence while the procedure is running successfully. No
mysticism. No revelation. Just functional success-state. 7. Consequences 1. No
privileged sacred objects 2. No moral
hierarchy derived from “divinity” 3. No
worship of UP as external 4. No
transcendence without instantiation 8. Minimal Compression (The Druidic Register) God does
not exist. Or more
formally: UP is
real and identifiable only as its local executions. This is
the full rationale: The ‘temple’ as reference frame The ‘temple’ as
reference frame in the Vedantic context “Everyone is
God in their space” |
