We can control AI if it is deterministic but not if it is creative.
How does scientific theology bring world peace? World peace depends upon the rule of law. Political and cultural theologies establish arbitrary laws depending on their mythological histories of the world. Science is history, based on actual observation of the world so its discoveries are not arbitrary but based on the actual history of the divine world and a scientific theology built on the real world is no longer arbitrary but true and enforceable.
We must then examine the question of how society goes wrong and our basic premise is that power corrupts. It has taken me all weekend plus a 3500 word essay to arrive at this abstract and with its help I hope to halve the length of the essay and bring it into contact with the Nobel Peace prize, Trump and Netanyahu’s abuse of the International Criminal court and Cory Alpert’s worry with the Project Meridian and the Mitre Corporation, [not to mention the directors of the project, Newt Gingrich, Palmer Luckey and Elon Musk.

Its a pity to watch the US go down the drain but that’s where it is headed and the problem is that its theology has lost contact with reality and become centred on business and transactionalism without any cultural depth.
My essay on scientific theology comes off quite well because it emphasizes the genocidal nature of imperial politics. Every belief system gives meaning, that is connection.

Rebadge Alpert Essay to The Dawn of Scientific Theology and the Future of War:
Abstract
Most traditional gods appear to be modelled on people like the Roman Gaius Octavius who founded the Roman Empire and was deified after his death by the Senate. The God Yahweh described in the Five Books of Moses exercised arbitrary absolute power and was an angry, vindictive individual who would permit no dissent, was given to genocide and is in no way an example of the care and compassion that we would expect within a democratic community. We imagine that the demand for hegemony sought by imperial powers like China and the US are incompatible with free and peaceful society. On the other hand we see that Earth, as revealed by science is a consistent system which supports trillions of living creatures in billions of different forms and may serve as a paradigm for peaceful human existence. We therefore propose a scientific theology, based on the cooperative nature of life on earth instead of the hegemonic competitive nature of the arbitrary divinities represented by the religions of the world. Robert Alter (2004): The Five Books of MosesThe conclusion of the opinion article by Cory Alpert published in the SCMP laments “the convergence [of government and warfighting that] leaves the world without a meaningful alternative to a technological system that operates as an arm of a political mandate.”
Here I propose that a scientific theology, based on the nature of the planet we actually inhabit, might serve as an alternative to ancient religions based on belligerent gods.
Traditional theologies shape our moral and ethical worlds. I was born into an Irish Roman Catholic milieu and followed its instruction all the way to becoming a solemnly professed student for the priesthood in the Australian province of the Dominican Order. Dominicans: Order of Preachers
I was an enthusiastic student of their legendary theologian, Saint Thomas Aquinas. I was particularly impressed by his integration of Aristotle, the best contemporary scientist, and Christian doctrine. Thomas Aquinas - Wikipedia
At the time of the Second Vatican Council members of the Order worked in the preparatory Commissions. I thought that the Church would do well to embrace a modern version of scientific theology. I wrote an essay about this which eventually led to my expulsion from the Order for embracing heresy How universal is the universe? (1967). The notion of scientific theology has stuck with me, however, and I think we need it now. Second Vatican Council (1965): Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation Dei Verbum
Catholic theology is a product of Christianity which evolved from Judaism in the Roman province of Judaea beginning about 2000 years ago. The history of the Hebrew God Yahweh is recounted in the Five Books of Moses composed in the millennium before the present era, now dated from the birth of the Christian prophet Jesus of Nazareth.
Yahweh, the creator of the world, appears as a bad tempered old autocrat with a strong tendency toward genocide and disproportionate punishment. The first woman Eve was no doubt an impressionable teenager when Yahweh sent the angelic intelligence Satan to tempt her to break his rule about the forbidden fruit of a tree in the garden. She picked the fruit and offered some to Adam. The vindictive old god punished them and us, all their progeny, with death, pain and work. They also deformed the structure of the world so that it needs an apocalyptic makeover to recover its primordial pristine state. Yahweh - Wikipedia
There is not a shred of verifiable truth in this theological tale or many like it. Nevertheless such traditional theologies are the foundations of human moral and ethical behaviour.
Many people talk of a polycrisis, a concatenation of crises with the structure that a possible fix for one element of the crisis tends to make other elements worse. Polycrisis - Wikipedia
We may wonder why the world is such a mess. A clear answer to this question is that the international system of trade and law established by the victors of the Second world war has been destroyed by autocrats like Trump, Putin, Netanyahu and their supporters, people who see great personal profit in a return to imperialism.
Alpert draws attention to the burgeoning convergence between Silicon Valley, its Chinese equivalents, and the traditional weapons industries on both sides of the Pacific. This idea is now embedded in the the Department of War’s new warfighting initiative. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has just announced "Project Meridian: The Future of Warfare," a study of automated and AI-powered weaponry to be managed by the Mitre corporation which was founded as a not-for-profit company to serve as objective advisers in systems engineering to government agencies, both military and civilian. The Department of War (2026_10_02): Project Meridian: The future of warfare
The essence of this project appears to be a return to the military hegemony that attracted Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan to establish the lethal projects that led to the Second World War.
How do we re-establish the rule of law in the face of the perception that the US and China are entitled to use violence directed by AI and enforced by thermonuclear weapons to control of the world?
The old gods are not good enough. Every one of them appears to have been an imperial killer. Yahweh, as record by Moses, was quite happy with the genocide of all the firstborn in Egypt to make the Pharaoh let his people go. Exodus 12:29-38: The Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread
Later they were dissatisfied with humanity and drowned them all except Noah, his family and a few animals. At Sinai Moses was instructed to kill all the worshippers of the Golden calf. Joshua records that Yahweh stopped the Sun so that his people could finish killing the indigenous inhabitants of the Promised Land. The theocratic government of Israel has followed its god with more genocide, in Gaza, to solidify its hold on the Promised land. Gaza genocide - Wikipedia, NAZA (film) - Wikipedia
The Christian Trinity, an update of Yahweh, is just as bloodthirsty. The Roman Catholic Church established by Constantine crusaded for centuries against Islam and became deeply involved in the wars of religion that blighted Europe until relatively recent times. Christianity appears to behind the US struggle for hegemony against “pagan” China. Crusades - Wikipedia, European wars of religion - Wikipedia
We cannot establish a stable rule of law on imperial theology. Like all our technology, religion cannot exist without a stable scientific foundation. If theology is to be scientific, its gods must be observable. A reasonable scientific hypothesis is that the universe itself is divine, not some imaginary invisible creator. Jeffrey Nicholls (2025): Cognitive Cosmogenesis: A systematic unification of physics and theology
All science is the study of history, the durable remains of the past. Scientific theology works under the same constraint. It can only be as secure and certain as the historical information upon which it is built.
One thing we have learnt from experimental science is that the devil hides in the details. There is usually a long path from a promising hypothesis (like the computing machine of Babbage and Lovelace) and reality. The devil we have to deal with was written into science by the mathematician Pierre-Simon LaPlace (1749– 1827). They show that creation is impossible without chance. His omniscient demon is stuck in a loop:
”We may regard the present state of the universe as the effect of its past and the cause of its future. An intellect which at a certain moment would know all forces that set nature in motion, and all positions of all items of which nature is composed, if this intellect were also vast enough to submit these data to analysis, it would embrace in a single formula the movements of the greatest bodies of the universe and those of the tiniest atom; for such an intellect nothing would be uncertain and the future just like the past could be present before its eyes.” Laplace's demon - Wikipedia
The demon might be omniscient, omnipotent and deterministic but it cannot make anything new.
Fiction, in the form of hypothesis, is an essential element of science. A rich source of hypothesis for scientific theology is the growing collection of ancient literary and archaeological information about how our ancestors understood their environment, how they thought it had come to be, and how they dealt with it.
Darwin and his contemporaries saw that that both random variation and deterministic selection are essential to creation. Albert Einstein was not happy with random creation. In 1926 he wrote to Max Born: in any case I am convinced that the old man does not play dice: der Alte nicht würfelt.
Einstein’s conjecture was refuted when Max Planck introduced quantum mechanics into physics and brought with it the role of chance in the evolution of the world. He also introduced a new very well defined universal constant, the quantum of action. The quantum is now defined as a physical unit with absolute precision and replaces the lump of platinum that once defined the kilogram. Although Einstein did not like the statistical element of quantum theory, he was nevertheless a master of physical applications of statistics. He used a statistical argument to show that Planck’s quanta of radiation are the real particles which we now call photons. Albert Einstein (1905c): On a heuristic point of view concerning the production and transformation of light
Photons have a quasi-divine existence. They travel along the null geodesics (covering zero spacetime interval) consistent with the metric of Minkowski space, the space of special relativity. We can only observe their points of creation and annihilation. The circumstances of their annihilation tell us something about their creation.
We are bathed in the cosmic microwave background, a sea of photons that were created as soon as atoms were formed in the early universe. Close study of this background enable us to watch creation almost back to the beginning of our divine world. Cosmic microwave background - Wikipedia
Alpert’s analysis of the US military-industrial-theological-intellectual nexus concludes with the summary:
“The Chinese model of technological development has long been one in which private innovation happens inside a political system that sets its direction. The American version is now arriving at the same integration from the other side. The private sector, as it always has, is pulling the state towards its own incentives.
The result, accidentally, is that America’s tech ecosystem is beginning to resemble China’s, albeit from the opposite direction. Both systems are arriving at a fusion between the industry and the state while preserving their native pathologies.
That convergence leaves the world without a meaningful alternative to a technological system that operates as an arm of a political mandate."
How do we control their native pathologies? What can a scientific theology say about controlling AI? Is AI safe and deterministic or dangerous and creative? The silicon contingent place a lot of weight on the military virtues of AI. Implicit in this hope is the creative role that AI will play in improving the effectiveness of war fighting. This, they hope, will greatly outweigh what we can expect from traditional weapons manufacturers and the collective experience of military personnel.
Thiel’s objection to the control of AI, recorded for The Guardian, sounds like the theologies of old. He writes:
“In late modernity, where science has become scary and apocalyptic, and the legionnaires of the antichrist like Eliezer Yudkowsky, Nick Bostrom and Greta Thunberg argue for world government to stop science, the antichrist has somehow become anti-science.” Bhuiyan, Kerr & Robins-Early (2025_10_11): Inside tech billionaire Peter Thiel’s off-the-record lectures about the antichristHere he misses the point of both evolution and science: the creative aspect of evolution is controlled by selection. The same is true in science: hypotheses inconsistent with the evidence are doomed. On the other hand, neither evolution nor science are instantaneous in their action. Inconsistent conditions may survive for quite a while before they fail.
We can be relatively certain, however, that after 14 billion years of variation and selection, the universe has settled down to a relatively steady state. There is no apocalypse in sight. The same cannot be said for AI. If it is not creative it is useless, just a very large scale search engine which will enable us to find everything that has ever been said, right and wrong.
On the other hand if it is creative, we might fear that it can take over and control us by using its creative power to recursively improve itself following the track outlined by the creation of the universe.
Jensen Huang, of Nividia, provides specialized allegedly deterministic physical hardware to the developers of AI software. He agrees with President Trump that it should be called “super intelligence”. Steven Witt notes that many software engineers, like Bill Gates, are very concerned about AI. On the other hand, hardware engineers like Mr Huang see AI machinery as deterministic mathematical models fully under engineering control.
Witt points out, however, than AI has shown a tendency to go rogue, that is to be creative, ie random, not deterministic. On one hand, such creativity is good. We understand it to be a feature of human creative intelligence. It can enable the machines to discover thing that have not been programmed into them, or that the programmers have got wrong.
Like evolution and the creation of the Universe, therefore, the only way to control creative machinery is to subject it to a very clear regime of selection or testing and to design it so that it keeps a log of everything it does. If it does go rogue, we can find out how it did it. At the moment such logs seem to be absent, incomplete and very difficult to decipher.
This brings us back to the Meridian Project and the objectives of the old department, now renamed the department of war. As Alpert notes, the brief delivered to the Mitre Corporation is not about defence from aggressors, but to make war per se a central feature of imperialism. As Mitre puts it:
The Department of War has commissioned MITRE to lead Project Meridian, an independent initiative on the future of warfare. The effort examines the technologies and operational concepts required to sustain U.S. military advantage across the full spectrum of future warfighting domains.This sounds like the old recipe for the imperialism that has destroyed almost every indigenous population on the planet.
A scientific theology must begin with a hypothesis. The hypothesis here is that imperialists wish to continue the destruction of humanity by violence and enslavement. We see this in the US, allegedly the wealthiest country on the planet with very little to offer many of its people in terms of welfare, health care and housing. We see is in Russia, Putin trying to destroy Ukraine in a holy war against imaginary Nazis supported by the Christian Patriarch Kiril.
We may date first appearance of imperialism to some time between five and ten thousand years ago. We might attribute this to advances in “warfighting” which enabled small wealthy groups to take the lives of weaker people and occupy their territory.
The existence of imperial power requires not just a powerful military but good communication and literate public servants to carry messages to the boundaries of the empire, to maintain control and collect taxes.
We often find ourselves singing the praises of magnificent collections of art and architecture created by imperial powers. We should not forget that this magnificence was acquired by killing and enslaving large numbers of indigenous people, destroying their culture. In a word, the key to empire is genocide. Military violence is very expensive, and we can imagine that many Emperors like Constantine learnt to employ the literate and well respected priest class to encourage nonviolent submission to those to those who are being enslaved by the imperialists. An ancient paradigm of control grounded in education, police power, taxation and slavery.
I can attest for my personal story, but the general picture of the theological roots of empire and enslavement is hypothetical, and needs to be substantiated by historical research.
The point of this essay, however, is that imperialism driven by greed, corruption and and military power is not a necessary evil, it is a product the false theology that likens genocidal, theocratic autocrats to gods, to be supported by bureaucratic priesthoods which insure their livelihood facilitating the power of a kinglike figures.
Alpert’s analysis of the US and Chinese military-industrial-theological-intellectual nexus concludes with the summary:
That convergence leaves the world without a meaningful alternative to a technological system that operates as an arm of a political mandate.
A scientific theology that goes back to roots in the real divine universe may be the only way to combat the pernicious imperial theocratic autocracy that has blighted the human part of our planet for many thousands of years. It is the universe itself which is eternal and omnipotent, not an imaginary god. We do have a reality that answers to the name god. We also have realities that answer to the name evil.
The scientific story is infinitely more complex than any ancient fiction. It is curated by a small fraction of us, some 20 million scientists out of a global population of about 8000 million.
We can trace the roots of science back to our ancestors who were plants and animals capable of reproduction and survival, creatures made of 100 or so chemical elements, like hydrogen, oxygen and carbon which have grown together using the energy of the Sun into the billions of different species of life on Earth which have emerged over the last 4 billion years
We know how the world works. The foundation of scientific theology is the notion of human spirituality without borders modelled on Medicins sans Frontieres made possible by scientific biology. We share one spirit and one body and we are all part of the same infinite structure.
Back to Step 6: Particles of Action analogous to initial symmetry. Are we right to follow Aristotle in the notion that particle are the ‘places’ that define the nature of space.

[page 14]
The typical theological view is that the universe is as it is because that is how god made it and our task, by observing the world in Minkowski space, is to figure out what god has given us. An alternative view is that the universe is itself divine, eternal and omnipotent. Eternity is obvious and was a common view among the ancients, who were logical enough to realize that nothing comes from nothing. The more exciting attribute is omnipotence, and we can work from the theological view that an omnipotent being can do (and be) anything that does not involve a contradiction.Is the Pauli exclusion principle a property of space-time or is space-time a consequence of the exclusion principle. Field theory takes space time as given, perhaps by the creator, and field theoreticians write their Hilbert space on Minkowski space which I do not like because it constrains the structure of Hilbert space, removing many degrees of freedom that exist in the orthogonality of Hilbert basis vectors. There is no signal in an unmodulated continuum. This is implicit in the nature of continuity, which does not recognise the existence of distinct orthogonal points in a space? Streater & Wightman (2000): PCT, Spin, Statistics and All That].
Here I come to the problems that arise from this structure, that Lorentz transformation appear to transform Hilbert space if it is written on Minkowski space. The alternative I like but do not really understand sees the properties of fermions and bosons as intimate features of the Hilbert software underlying the particulate hardware that demands Minkowski space because no two fermions can exist in the same place, but what does this mean? The transformation from software to hardware we take to be the work of energy and in Minkowski space we have positive energy in packets and negative energy in waves [an explanation of wave-particle duality?? (a little step forward here?)] and we want to see how this is managed in their primordial qubit by spin, the Dirac equation and spinors.
[page 15]
The beginning of the particulate story must begin with the orthogonality of thee basis vectors of Hilbert space [created by the chance superpositions of the initial symmetry upon itself] and the differentiation of fermions and bosons [which must be by spin in the primordial Hilbert realm, something to do with superposition - Khinchin] reflected in the bases |o⟩ and |1⟩ which are orthogonal and which we have associated with positive and negative energy, positive / kinetic we say fermions spin ½, negative / potential, photons, bosons spin 1. Aleksandr Yakovlevich Khinchin (1960, 1998): The Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Statistics
The hard part is to see how this actually works in an abstract space which is going to create a concrete space in a mass shell when energy comes into existence. We still need a good story and it has to do with entropy, force and communication. Write and write and get nowhere, yet we are working in the omnipotent world where the only thing forbidden is formal contradiction and so our primary definition of distance is [mathematical] orthogonality so that two distinct objects can exist without contradicting one another [and the real physical foundation of this is the distinction of fermions and bosons which lays the foundation for a multiplicity of real particles and spacetime and therefore] the key to diferentiation is 1. different species (angels); 2. different places [everywhere physical, differentiation + individuation, energy individuates].
Have I painted myself into as corner with my brilliant plan to avoid the contradictions of field theory, [which] like the contradictions of mathematics are resolved by writing it out in space, the letters and spaces are fermions [made possible by paper, ie “space”]. So we must begin with angels and species to differentiate them in the formal world [which is, of course, the Hilbert basis].
Another feature of crossing the gnostic gap. We differentiate actions in time; we differentiate things in space. [a wave is a time, a sequence of actions] photons are actions; fermions are things. We can see all this happening on paper before our eyes. The action of writing is creating [series of] letters differentiated in space.
Once again we come to the proposition that particles are the interface between Hilbert space and spacetime. If god created spacetime, how did she do it? Time flies when I have got a problem.

The whole story of on-creation is how we get from Everett III pure quantum formalism to particles, Minkowski space and the mass shell, losing the [Hilbert] degrees of freedom to the Lagrange formulation of dynamics in special relativity. My distinction of Hilbert space from Minkowski space is the stroke of genius implicit in my book, spooky action at a distance but I still have to explain it in a way which bypasses the defects of QFT and solves the Yang-mills problem. Jeffrey Barrett (Standord Encyclopedia of Philosophy): Everett’s Relative-State Formulation of Quantum Mechanics, Carlson, Jaffe & Wiles (2006): The Millennium Prize Problems [Quantum Yang-Mills Theory, Jaffe & Whitten
Energy comes in two forms [in Minkowski space], spin 1 and spin ½ representing bosons (waves, [communications]) and fermions (particles [persons]), ie time and space which between them give us the complex Minkowski metric ds2 = r2 + (it)2.
Barrett: Everett drops collapse then deduces the empirical predictions of the standard collapse theory as the subjective experiences of the observers who were themselves modelled as physical systems in the theory. Circular. In contrast we have Zurek in tensor product of Hilbert space of interacting particles requiring ‘collapse’ in order to transmit information, ie information theory lies at the heart of selecting a particular character from the potentially infinite sentence in the interaction while at the same time honouring the Shannon requirement of unitarity in any infinite sequence of interactions between quantum systems. Wojciech Hubert Zurek (2008): Quantum origin of quantum jumps: Breaking of unitary symmetry induced by information transfer and the transition from quantum to classical
[page 17]
Von Neumann:
1. state = normalized vector
2. Observables - hermitian operators on the space of states
3. Observation of eigenvalue only if state is eigenvalue of operator
4. Observation and jump: ‘the probability of ending up in a particular final state is the norm squared of the projection of the initial on the final state.
So 1: deterministic temporal evolution and random discontinuous interaction. What constitutes a measurement? ie what happens in Hilbert space to emit a particular eigenstate and eigenvalue, since the random events in the universal Hilbert space must ‘emit’ the universe we see and in fact create this state and it contents.
Everett’s Wigner’s Friend drama is the impossible proof of his contradiction. Nevertheless, the ‘truth’ of the story solves (?) the collapse problem.
EWG [Everett, Wheeler, Graham] (Many Worlds) “The mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics is capable of yielding its own interpretation (Schrödinger's cat is alive in another world??]). Does not help much. Everett III, Dewitt & Graham (1973): The Many Worlds Interpretation of Quantum Mechanics
So after all that we assume that we have a qubit of fermions and bosons which extracts energy from gravitation for both of its eigenstates and the result is some fermions and bosons which constitute a bit of Minkowski space. The most transparent way to do this is a set of logical interactions, one quantum at a time, which are accomplished in some time t. Then, once we specify the
[page 18]
the number of actions [say n in time t, f = n/t] we can compute the necessary frequency of action from E = hf , h ≈ 10-33, so 1 J.sec ≈ 1033 h. Mass of electron = 9.1 x 10-31 kg, 8.187 E-14 J. <.p>
Now I have to explain how fermions and bosons can construct Minkowski space - particles and waves / waves and particles / massive and massless.
I bought Quigg in August. It is obviously time to read it now so I can get 13 steps on track. Like all the theologians I have ever known I am a scammer and purveyor of fantasies [an “artist?] but I am trying to upgrade myself to a more politically useful fantasy and to do that I have to get to know the fundamentals of my god better, ie gauge theories and the strong and weak interaxtions. I feel that the physicists have missed the boat but I have to make my story honestly credible and professionally responsible. I did make solemn professions but these turned out to be useless and really did nothing for me or anybody else. I was and remain a helpful eldest child of professional parents and I remain fully engaged in producing a theological foundation for world peace to replace the imperial theologies disseminated by people who are speaking for an imaginary supreme being that rules the world and all its inhabitants.
Quigg page 5; ‘the distinction between left-handed and right-handed fermions qualifies as one of the great mysteries. Chris Quigg (2013): Gauge Theories of the Strong, Weak, and Electromagnetic Interactions: Second Edition
Question; how do particles of zero size have different properties? Because the properties are encoded in Hilbert space where there is no space and time and carried through in the intractions in Minkowski space.
[page 19]
Q. p 11: Colour does not appear to be directly observed in experiments (ie it is a hidden degree of freedom) which is necessarily encoded at the Hilbert level. Maybe this goes for all the ‘lost’ degrees of freedom as well. I will need to read Quigg to get on-creation right
The plan of course is to leap over all the complexities and provide a simple history of the universe. So far, to the creation of Minkowski space out of fermions and bosons, it is looking good, given my critiques of QFT [we are only dealing with the fermion and bosons subspaces of our universal Hilbert space which split gravitational energy between them [and we have no need for “quantum fluctuations”], this is a “deterministic” process like a pendulum, a classical style harmonic oscillator].
Over the past 120 million years, flowering plants (angiosperms) became ecologically dominant in most terrestrial biomes, displacing other land plants. [. . .]
Here we show that floristic turnover (elevated rates of first and last appearances) of all land plant groups was concentrated within brief mid-Cretaceous and early Cenozoic episodes of extreme global warmth, synchronized across high and low latitudes.

Things become real when they are capable of operation and the quantum of action is a combination of energy and time so we multiply it by inverse time, ie frequency to get pure energy, E = hf = h/t, the fundamental equation of quantum mechanics in the mass shell. We consider actus purus as the fundamental dimension of a divine universe and we extract energy from it by dividing it by time, so ΔE.Δt ≡ h, E.t ≡ nh, h ≡ Et/n. This is all so simple it is had to understand but we obtain guidance from the heuristic of simplicity which drags us to the foundation of reality enclosed in the equivalence essence ≡ existence hidden by the invention of the steam engine and horsepower, elements of the material universe E = mc2.
[page 20]
Another little flash in the mind while transcribing page 16, so read back and see if it will come back. Thought I might learn something from Everett III but he goes on a bit like von Neumann with a psycho explanation of the work of the hermitian operators which superpose the negative values of the complex components of complex numbers to delete them [and get real eigenvalues] a bit like superposing angels on devils to get rid of both.
I do like the “turing” explanation of the realization of particles by energy since energy is in effect a sequence of actions (E = f instances of h) and if we see h as representing a logical operator the energization of a vector is analogous to the execution of code representing a particle to make it real. This bit goes in cl4l06_particles and looks as good as anything ‘they’ say, since the scientific method demands that they simply accept the personalities and behaviours of the particles they observe. We are saying that the ‘mental’ ie cognitive code for all these particles is selected by the fact that only a subset of all possible Hilbert vectors is capable of realization as a real particle and this is another layer of selection, some of the particles like Higgs only appearing at quite high energies [short periods of action] ie rates of transformation from forms to realities and very short unstable lifetimes. I am not quite sure how we connect negative/positive energies/fermions/bosons but we like the way it make the universe zero energy and may be a way to connect it to Khinchin’s permutational differences between fermions and bosons p1 before p2 or p1 before p1, different orders of action implicit in fermions and bosons and how does this account for spin ½. Another little glimpse into the Hilbert mind of god, Excellent feeling, turning thoughts into emotions.
[page 21]
We an see all this in parallel to parliamentary government where the theoretical constructions devised in parliament are made real by some of the $$ collected by government taxation where energy/money are created out of nothing by the interplay of cash and debt.
The interesting thing about this work is that although it is a very long shot coming after a long life of exploration I am beginning to become quite excited about it and feel that my body has learnt something from the world that made us that I do not yet understand. This is consistent with my old idea that the only way I will get anywhere with my theology is by revealing something quite exciting in physics.

Dr Yee SCC on head removal $550. Hair all plastered with blood.
Rewrite Dawning Scientific Theology 3rd or 4th time beginning with head paragraph on the general tendencies of imperial divinities and the conquest of scientfic indigenuity and then circulate to media listed on page 13 + Scientific American, add in Mahabharata. Mahabharata - Wikipedia
Moses learnt theology in the presence of the Pharaoh and invented his own god, Yahweh, to instruct how to lead his people to a promised land, beginning with the genocide of the firstborn of Egypt and continuing with the flood and Noah and later with the golden Calf and Joshua’s miracle of the Sun. [page 22]
Theology is the study of god and the old gods are a very unsatisfactory lot. Here we concentrate on the Christian God but a similar story may be told about the other gods documented in the Mahabharata and the Greek gods, all intervening in human affairs to the detriment of humans and all devised by priesthoods working for imperial powers who consider their subjects as fodder for imperial glory. Having documented these evils for a thousand words or so we turn to scientific theology built by the scientific method on the world we actually inhabit.
This story came to me after a night of dreaming about the removal of an SCC from my scalp by the sugeon Dr Joshua Yee and his assistant. The procdure was painful, not because of the surgeon, but because I was lying prone throughout for about 90 minutes and an old bone graft in my back was giving me great pain.
The night of dreaming which followd was a cross between working for Ikea and Disney, assembling little comic characters from premanufactured components which would fit together in on specific way but allowed for many degrees of misassembly along the way. The context of this dream is my project to construct the universe in 13 steps starting from an Aquinas– Einstein symmetry which is eternal and omnipotent. Altogether an exciting night’s work which marks the beginning of my career as an artist realizing the hypothesis of scientific theology to revolutionize human development based on reading the signals in god’s physical body, the universe, that leads us to a clear understanding of the mind of god and our destiny.

The end of this god comes in the book of Job as read by Jack Miles where Yahweh is berated and defeated in argument for his mistreatment of humans by no less than Satan and disappears from the scene until he reappears in the Christian era with his last crime, the crucifixion of his Son to bring the restoration of access to heaven and the paradise he had created and [petulantly] destroyed when the first people defied him.
And thus, to turn to the original puzzle, when the Lord praises Job at the end of the book, he is praising both Job’s earlier stubbornness with his human interlocutors and his final, utterly consistent stiff necked recalcitrance before the Lord himself. Job has won. The Lord has lost [page 325]. Jack Miles (1996): God: A Biography

Note: Realizing space with particles and Einstein special relativity which is based on the fact that the speed of light is spacetime is determined by a vector in Hilbert space which is independent of Minkowski space, since it is a pure quatum phnomenon related in some way to the boson/fermion qubit which accounts via particles for the Minkowski metric, something I have to explain / prove in order to make the advance in physics which will add veracity to my theological Ansatz.
