Time is the great operator.
The scholastic arguments that deny time to God were in error since they had a static vision of 'pure act' even though they also held that god lives, distinguishing between immanent and transient action. Aquinas 113 If we take the universe to be divine all action is immanent to god, and a state of pure act (E = h.aleph(0))
In the theology section, we begin from the model standardized by Aquinas and show how it needs to be modified to conform to modern ideas about mind and matter.

Quantum mechanics tells us how to study the transfinite network.
Quantum mechanics is not the world of hard balls clashing, but of gossip, innuendo, science, literature, law and all the other forms of information. This has been made obvious with the rise of quantum information theory. Von Neumann's quantum mechanics tackles infinity head on, building on the theories of infinity that had arisen since differential and integral calculus proved to be the key to understanding the workings of the observable (measurable) world.
The genetic underpinning of my efforts is to increase the fitness of my children, not by changing them (for their genotype came into existence long ago) but by changing the environment in which they live (which
[page 188]
includes me), ie building a world in which they can thrive. This is not something that can be done alone: the quality of our environment is non-local, it depends on the quality of the whole. We need have no doubts about the universe that made us, but should keep a close eye our interpretations of what is going on.
Many prophets obtain knowledge from sources allegedly inaccessible to the normal person. From my point of view, this is not a credible source of information. It is just power-tripping. We should restore our faith and trust for the models of the world which demonstrably fit experience. Catholicism its incongruity with the world on the grounds that the world was fucked by original sin. This is very dangerous arrogance, leading to actions not in harmony with the nature of the world, like promoting a certain 'religious life'. (I have repeated these words since an early age without really thinking about them - religious life = unnaturally constrained life (historically, for me)).
BLOG: As I have ploughed like a behemoth bulkship through life, I have kept this log. Once I was shy of revealing it because my revolt against the Church seemed a rather shameful act to me and my failure to to much good in civilian life added to the tendency to hide. But now that I can see a few good result sin the distance, the road I have travelled becomes important as a guide to the future.
Quantum information theory puts quantum mechanics on a much more intuitive basis, since we are good at logic, computation and communication and do it consciously and
[page 189]
unconsciously all the time. The task in me (as in any other animal) is performed by a complex network of nerve cells communicating with one another though various channels (including propagating 'action potentials' and chemical transmission (synapse)).
Instead of confronting infinity straight out, we begin with a two state system (as Feynman does) and then go onto show how we can link two state systems together (like binary numbers) to deal with any number of states
All action is to some degree a matter of life and death, and deserves careful study proportional to its weight.
A network is a quantum entity. Nodes log onto and off one another, depending on who they want to speak to as they move through their lives. The top level of every node is the user of the network. {user}

This paper is motivated by the string 'language = communication - error correction - fidelity - trust - trade - peace.'
The UN Charter of human rights defines a set of human symmetries, features of our nature which make us formally indistinguishable. We are all to observe these norms while communicating with one another.
The formal study of symmetry has probably been best developed in the field of physics, and the purpose of this paper is to suggest applying thee physical models to the study of language.
[page 190]
Our modern physical insight seems best expressed in quantum information and communication theories, which use the qubit as their understanding of a two state system, and then build up to the real transfinite quantum world by creating ordered sets of qubits and gates (operators)

Distance makes control grow more tenuous by time delay so we can understand the inverse square law of we think of communication occurring in packets of x-toms
