The God of the mature

As a bion, that is to say, a living system such as a human, matures, its notion of the world as creative process and its role

The 1 basic rules set that regulates chaos (i.e. max. entropy) into order (i.e. min. entropy), e.g. the wholly transcendent God (‘Ēlî) of Abraham, still guiding and controlling immature Judaism, Islam and the bulk of Christianity, remains incomplete (i.e. unfulfilled) until applied to a ‘2^nd.’ Gödel rightly proved that 1 (i.e. a whole or quantum by itself) is incomplete, hence that “A single point cannot be grasped.” (Victor, 1980)

therein changes. Immature bions experience regulation (i.e. Guide and Control) as external (and mostly personal). Consequently the immature believe that God (the ultimate ruler (or rules set) as primal ‘father’) is transcendent (and great in every way). For them, creation happens top-down. Mature bions, now self-regulating, experience themselves as God (i.e. as non-personal rules set being fully applied). For the mature human God-as-nano-basic-rules-set is not imminent but applies itself as the whole local expression of God, i.e. of the set of unreal rules that turns real chaos into real order. For them, creation, meaning adaption to selected accidents, happens bottom-up. Maturation brings about a paradigm shift in the notion of God-as-rules-set (or algorithm). For the immature, God, fully complete, reigns in heaven and gradually lifts up. For the mature, God evolves gradually upwards from the hell of incompleteness.

Immature God experience	Transition	Mature God experience
External regulation by ‘One’ ‘God is 1’ (monotheism)		Self-regulation by ‘2 to n’ ‘All are God’ (pantheism)
Complete Omniscient Omni-potent Perfect in every way Everlasting more …		Incomplete Unfulfilled Imperfect Momentary
Fulfilment experienced as heaven		Unfulfilment experienced as hell
From completeness via incompleteness to completeness		From incompleteness to completeness to incompleteness
The world is designed, selected evolution, on-going (hence analogue), relative		The world happens as accident, i.e. as random, self-selected (by virtue of being ‘fitter’) evolution of series of absolute (hence quantised) moments “The right way is the untrodden. It becomes the wrong way when you’ve stepped on it.” (Victor 1974)
