Thy Liberty In Law

“However, if we discover a complete theory, it should in time be understandable by everyone, not just by a few scientists. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists and just ordinary people, be able to take part in the discussion of the question of why it is that we and the universe exist. If we find the answer to that, it would be the ultimate triumph of human reason - for then we should know the mind of God.”

– Stephen Hawking, “A Brief History of Time” 

 

Before we move on to the next science, I think it’s important to briefly summarize the subject matter of the last five posts. First, we have to wrap our minds around the fact that the field of science is now equipped to analyze the existence and nature of God, just like any other subject. What might have prevented scientists from studying God in the past was a temptation to analyze God as defined by various religious observers, many of which describe their God as unknowable or outside the realm of science. However, scientists who are successful in their studies begin with natural laws; they seek to discover the laws that govern the subject in question and research the effects of such laws impartially.

 

As an example, Newton’s study of the phenomenon of gravity did not involve an investigation of what everyone else believed gravity to be, a denunciation of such theories as nonsensical and a conclusion that the subject of gravity is unknowable or outside the realm of science, though this is the way some scientists currently behave toward the subject of God. Instead of following a well-documented procedure known as “the scientific method,” some scientists have disregarded the search for proof of God through natural law and have focused their efforts on deriding the various definitions and depictions of God compiled over the centuries by man. Finding these depictions unsupported by science, the entire subject of God and religion are deemed unknowable by some and ridiculous, aberrant, or even dangerous by others. As entertaining as it may be to sit in judgment of every religious theory invented or discovered, this is not the function of science. The function of science is to provide scientific definitions for all things which can be tested and proven for truth; once a definition is established, all things that do not concur with that definition are, by default, false. It is therefore nothing but a waste of time for anyone to ridicule mankind’s relative definitions of God and religion. A scientific definition of God will automatically invalidate any religion whose god exists in opposition to it.

 

In our case, the scientific definition of God emerged in a circuitous manner. Instead of testing man’s various depictions of God for truth, we began with an analysis on the application of law. Because all things were found to exist according to law (intelligent design), we then moved on to the origin of law, whether law is established by an internal or external source. Because all things lack the authority to author a single law governing their functionality, the origin of law is external, which means that an external source of intelligence must exist which possesses the ability to create and execute law. This external source of law established a scientific basis for the possibility of creation, which led us to consider any natural laws that might include a creator.

 

The possibility of a creator was found in the self-evident truth that “All men are created equal.” This law enabled us to test whether the equality of man was dependent upon a creator, which test proved positive. The final test was an analysis of whether the equality of man causes mankind to become functional or dysfunctional, which in all cases, equality causes function (the specifics of man’s functionality will be demonstrated shortly). Function, in mathematical terms, is synonymous with truth, which means that the mathematical formula for equality—(God > man) and (man = man)—is true, enabling us to recognize it as a natural law.

This is how we came to prove the existence of God: through the examination of natural law, and not through the consideration of any of man’s arbitrary definitions.

 

As was demonstrated in the last post, the law of equality provided us with much more than the existence of a Creator. This law allowed us to uncover a testable scientific description of this Creator complete with purpose, function, and mathematical imagery. Because of this law, instead of being limited to the mere study of natural laws, all of mankind is allowed to observe the process by which these laws are created in the first place—through an equally branched republic constituted along the lines of the static/active union. This republic is known as God.

 

The previous post offered a description of the scientific constitution of this republic, a description which at first might have seemed a bit complicated. However, once we apply a few real-world examples, it will be evident that human beings have been employing this pattern throughout history. While the republic of God is most easily compared to the republic of the United States, it must be noted that anything which creates and executes law is, in fact, a republic. Businesses, sports organizations, religious institutions, universities, even human beings themselves are all forms of republics which create and execute law.

 

To illustrate, let’s first apply this pattern to sports. In a sport such as football where laws are established, the branches of government are naturally divided along the lines of authority and power in the same manner as is the republic of God. The judicial branch is represented by the referees who represent static mathematical truth (equality) or the rules of the game, and serve as static binary judges over the actions of the active legislative and executive branches. The legislative branch is represented by the coaches, who hold the authority to author the laws or write the game plan/actions of the team according to the rules. The executive branch is represented by the players, who hold the power to confirm and execute the laws or game plan authored by the legislative branch on the condition that the laws are based on the rules. Together, the referees, coaches and players form an equally balanced government capable of creating and executing law for their sport, which government will endure until the law of equality is violated by the enactment of false law or when one branch begins to usurp the authority or power of the other branches.

 

 

 

 

In a corporation, this same construct applies. The judicial branch is represented by the board of directors who represent static mathematical truth (equality) or the rules of the business, and serve as static binary judges over the actions of the active legislative and executive branches. The legislative branch is represented by the president, who holds the authority to author the laws, or the actions, of the company. The executive branch is represented by the chief executive officer, who holds the power to confirm and execute the laws authored by the legislative branch on the condition that the laws are based on the rules of the business. Together, the board, president and chief executive officer form an equally balanced government capable of creating and executing law for the corporation, which government will endure until the law of equality is violated by the enactment of false law or when one branch begins to usurp the authority or power of the other branches.

 

 

 

In engineering, construction, manufacturing, or any type of field where something is produced, the republic is essential. First, mathematical truth (judicial) is authored into a design, a compilation of statements and formulas proposing the function of the building or machine (legislative). Once the proposal is confirmed, or judged to be in accordance with mathematical truth, the design is then executed or physically built and brought into existence (executive). If the laws for the building or machine are in accordance with mathematical truth, it will function. If not, it will be dysfunctional and subject to destruction.

 

 

 

Human beings are perfect examples of republics, whether we are aware of it or not. Each individual possesses an active legislative branch, or head, that is designed to author the laws or actions of the republic as a whole. These proposed laws are passed to the executive branch, or body, which is designed to judge these laws for concurrence with mathematical truth and then execute or carry out the confirmed laws. These two active branches are sealed together by a static judicial branch, or conscience, which serves as a static binary judge over the actions of the active branches. Laws (or actions) that concur with the mathematical law of equality allow the human republic to retain its liberty, or the power to continue to confirm and execute law. Laws that violate the mathematical law of equality destroy individual liberty, and the person loses the power to confirm and execute law.

 

 

 

These are only a few of the countless ways in which human beings naturally form republics, giving a whole new meaning to the religious expression, “God is everywhere.” Indeed, the image of God is found in all things, due to the fact that God exists as a republic. Because all things exist according to intelligent design laws, all things in existence are executions of law. Law is the product of a republic, which means that everything in existence can be traced back to the republic responsible for its creation. Republics are fractal, which means that each republic can also be traced back to the republic responsible for its creation, resulting in an infinite ancestry of republican governments. The republic is the creator of all things.

 

This is where we can begin to comprehend the importance of human intelligence and human liberty. Because human beings are the only forms of active intelligence that can distinguish mathematical truth from that which is not mathematical truth, only human beings can author, confirm and execute mathematical truth, or create law. The fact that law is something only human intelligence can create substantiates the statement in the last post that, “Everything in our universe, from the largest star to the smallest subatomic particle, subsists on human liberty.“

 

Up until this point, we have focused only on the science of a functional republic. We have uncovered the natural law that constitutes it and maintains its functionality – the law of equality. It is easy to see how the physical universe can be so ordered, reliable, and wondrously perfect when it has been created by a similarly ordered, reliable, and wondrously perfect republic. So far, the republic of God has not made any mistakes in the process of law formation. All the laws in the universe concur with mathematical truth, which means that God’s republic has correctly authored, confirmed and executed everything in existence.

 

However, just because all human beings are executions of the law that “All men are created equal” does not mean that all men remain in this equal state. Natural laws formed by the republic of God exist as static mathematical truth to man, and as a new iteration of human intelligence, it is man’s purpose and function to correctly author this truth into written laws and confirm and execute these laws according to the republican model. This means that God’s creation of man is in turn a creation of a new fractal republic, with God as the judicial branch and man as the active legislative and executive branches.

 

 

 

Of course, though the natural law of equality has always existed, it took man until 1776 A.D. to formally and correctly author this law and an even longer time to get around to the confirmation and execution of it (which execution is sporadic and inconsistent at best). This begs the question: what is the scientific consequence of man’s ignorance, repudiation, or denial of natural law?

 

In the previous posts it was demonstrated that static and active intelligence have an interdependent relationship, a relationship which forms the basis for law formation. Static intelligence is the origin of truth, and active (human) intelligence authors, confirms and executes truth, enabling truth to become law. On the other hand, if human intelligence can confirm truth, humans must likewise possess the ability to reject truth or at least prevent it from becoming formal law, either deliberately or ignorantly (consider the history of humanity prior to 1776). But the rejection of truth by human intelligence assumes that we have a hand in creating it, which as active intelligences, we do not. Therefore, a “rejection” of truth, or a refusal by man to author and execute the laws established by God, is not so much a rejection but rather an active confirmation of the opposite of the law in question—what we will refer to as a negation of law.

 

Anything that exists as truth creates or causes that which is not true, which means that all natural laws have negations, or that which exists in opposition to the law. If man does not confirm and execute the natural laws governing the creation of fire (heat, oxygen, fuel) then the result is the negation of fire – or not fire. If man does not confirm and execute the natural laws governing the creation of an electrical current, then the result is the negation of an electrical current – or not an electrical current. In this case, if man does not confirm and execute the natural law governing man’s equality, then the result is the negation of equality – or not equality, which of course is referred to as inequality. This means that instead of possessing a true ability to reject natural laws, human intelligence which refuses to confirm and execute the natural law of equality is by default confirming and executing its negation. Because the law of equality can be broken down into its correct mathematical formula, the formula for inequality must be a negation, or the mathematical opposite, of equality.

 

Let’s compare the law of equality and its negation side by side. Again, here is the mathematical formula for equality as described in “Laying Down The Law.”

 

(God > man) and (man = man) = equality

 

According to this law, man was intelligently designed to function with God as his superior and with man as his equal, which law results in continuous function, or in other words, eternal life.

 

((God > man) and (man = man) = equality) = Eternal Life

 

Because this law is universally true, we must now revisit the formula for inequality which was briefly suggested in the post “Laying Down The Law Part II – The Conclusion” as simply (man > man) = inequality. The fact that inequality must be a negation, or the complete opposite of, the law of equality requires a revision of this formula.

 

 

The Formula for Inequality – A Negation of Equality

 

According to equality, the correct order of God and man places God first and man second. For inequality, the arrangement must be incorrectly inversed.

 

man, God 

 

As the Creator of man, God must be superior to man. For inequality, man would falsely assume a position superior to or greater than his Creator.

 

man > God

 

The falsely assumed position of superiority over one’s Creator effectively nullifies any legal basis for the equality of man, so the mathematical result of this arrangement is the inequality of man by default.

 

man > God  =  man not equal to man  (not equal is written as !=)

 

This formula is a description of the opposite of equality, which of course is inequality:

 

(man > God) = (man != man) = inequality

 

Last, because the formula for equality is mathematically true, its execution yields continuous function, or eternal life. Because inequality is mathematically false, its execution must yield dysfunction and death.

 

((man > God) = (man != man) = inequality) = Death

 

Here we see that the formula for inequality is a complete negation of equality. Because the law of equality first requires the recognition of a superior God, the formula for inequality must first include the repudiation of the superiority of God by man, who places himself above his Creator. This arrangement is mathematically false because that which is created cannot be greater than, or precede, that which created it. In this arrangement, man effectively nullifies his own equality among men due to the fact that equality only exists by way of his Creator. Because all men are created equal, man’s attempt to rule over another is first a false repudiation of God and second a false arrangement of man.

 

The significance of the negation of the natural law of equality is that any man who does not confirm and execute the natural law of equality is by default confirming and executing its negation. This means that each of man’s actions is an execution of equality or inequality; man is either correctly placing God above himself and his fellow man equal to himself, or man is incorrectly placing himself above God and his fellow man unequal to himself. The ability of man to choose whether to confirm and execute equality or inequality reveals a paradoxical characteristic of this natural law, in that the law of equality establishes a classification of superiority and inferiority among men. The superior man is he that chooses to confirm and execute the true law of equality, which results in endurance, function and life. The inferior man is he that chooses to confirm and execute the false law of inequality, or who simply disregards the law of equality in which he then by default confirms and executes inequality to the result of dysfunction, destruction, and death. Because function and life are always superior to destruction and death, the man that chooses to execute equality will always be superior to the man that chooses to execute inequality.

 

Though the study of this subject is laborious and taxing, the knowledge of the law of equality and its negation is the necessary foundation for the complete understanding of all human past, present and future. Without this natural law, there is no scientific explanation for the failure or dysfunction of society, economy, government, or any institution created by man. We are left to wonder why it is that some businesses fail while others succeed, why some families disintegrate while others progress, why some nations degenerate while others prosper. Without this law we are only able to speculate on the consequences of legislation implemented by government and the repercussions of social or cultural permutations. Currently, the study of the patterns and outcomes of human behavior are considered “soft sciences,” or “social” sciences which cannot be researched quantitatively because of the lack of any specific math-based physical law governing the function of human beings. Of course, the law of equality completely destroys this premise.

 

The natural law of equality and its negation establishes the mathematical foundation for the scientific study of humanity. Man is a republic constituted by the law of equality; any execution of inequality will cause a republic to self-destruct according to the nature of the imbalance. Recall the example at the end of the post “Laying Down The Law Part II – The Conclusion,” how the existence of the universe is dependent upon the perfect equality of the two creative forces of electromagnetism and gravity. If these two forces are equal, life will flourish and endure. If they are not equal, the universe will self-destruct in a predictable manner, a manner which is mathematically determined by the nature of the imbalance itself. If the imbalance is in favor of electromagnetic force, the universe will predictably blow itself apart. If the imbalance is in favor of gravity, the universe will predictably collapse in on itself. Either way, imbalance (or inequality) will always result in the destruction and death of the universe according to the nature of the imbalance.

 

Similarly, any imbalance in the constitution of a fractal republic will also result in the destruction and death of that republic according to the nature of the imbalance. Because a republic is a representative union of the three equal keys of law formation – active authority, active power, and static authority and power (sealing), the republic is subject to destruction in four possible ways: an imbalance in favor of active authority; an imbalance in favor of active power; an imbalance in favor of active authority and power; or an imbalance in favor of static authority and power (sealing). Each imbalance causes a very specific type of dysfunction, in the same way that imbalances in any organism – cars, computers, bodies – cause specific types of dysfunction. The dysfunction and death of all republics is the next science we will examine, but this science is not without controversy. To some, this science will be the “ultimate triumph of human reason” anticipated by Stephen Hawking in the quote above, and to others, it will rock the very foundation of their existence. What we as human beings must keep in mind is that we have been intelligently designed to function according to a specific mathematical formula. And the defining characteristic of mathematics is intolerance.
