Islam - we must fit in with god. And the clearest and most definite manifestation of god is the physical world. If we do not respect the laws of physics, we are either killing ourselves or killing somebody else. So physical theology, which
[page 56]
is based on the notions
a) all information = all pleasure and pain, is physical; and
b) if we get the physics right we can increase pleasure and decrease pain.
We recognize that reality is boss. But instead of leading to some sort of fascist determinism, this state of affairs gives us a secure foundation upon which to build a transfinity of possible worlds, given the combinatorial nature of the world. The question is, which of these possibilities should we choose, or should we choose at all?
KNOWLEDGE = MEASUREMENT = MAPPING
So a good place to study knowledge is in metric space. Even topology is metric insofar as a topology expresses (measures) some aspect of an object space.
Something = my data on something outside me = objective.
NUMBERS = METRIC = SET THEORY
If you can be immoral without hurting anyone but yourself, go for it. But is this possible in a human community? Because between us all there is a connection coefficient )say c, 0 =< c =< 1) which means that to this extent, the fate of one is the fate of all. Many others would suffer (to some degree) if I were to hurt myself, just as my health benefits many.
Force arises only when there is communication. If there is no contact thee is no contact and no force either.
[page 57]
Physics is the most abstract science and theology the most complex, where by abstraction (0 =< a =< 1) = 1/complexity. God is so complex that we can say that 1/god = 0, and god/god = 1.
Let the set of all inaccessible cardinals be called god.
Slogan: Quantum mechanics in its full mathematical glory = METAPHYSICS.
There is no information without entropy.
All information is physical and all information has cost and value. The value has two components
1) the meaning of the information, ie does this knowledge carry much weight.
2) the certainty of the information.
Is this a war effort? All life requires effort. Some in chains in the Gulags have to exert every ounce of their energy under the whips of their captors to earn bare sustenance or less. Others can make themselves millions as the touch of a keyboard. History and luck play a part in individual lives as well as personal effort. So how hard should we work?
Taking a long view of history we can see that much of Catholic dogma arises from political and corporate motivations. Beginning with Plato, who wised to protect the antiseptic world of philosopher kings from the messy world of democracy, the popes. bishops, cardinals and priests have defended a fantasy world of gods, angels and heaven which has kept them in power and luxury while placating people with the belief that if they endure a short life
[page 58]
of nastiness, they will reap an eternal reward.
