COMPLEXITY SCIENCE IS PANTHEISM WITH EXTRA STEPS
THE ALL-POWERING WEB
The universe is a complex system dictated by an intricate and infinitely interconnected Web of causal relationships that is indistinguishable from pantheistic interpretations of God.
This page explores Web from a scientific stance; dasism explores the theological and cultural implications of acknowledging Web.
WEB: THE COMPLEXITY SCIENCE OF PANTHEISM
EMPIRICAL EXTRA STEPS
EMPIRICAL EXTRA STEPS
EMPIRICAL EXTRA STEPS
Complexity science provides us with the empirical "extra steps" to prove a pantheistic view of reality. The causal influence model (CIM) is the "God" of a complex system, theoretically modelling causal interactions and system states.
WEB IS CIM
EMPIRICAL EXTRA STEPS
WEB IS CIM
Within the context of complexity science, Web is the theoretical model for all causal influence in the universe when considered as a single complex system that's continuing to evolve.
DOES WEB HAVE WILL?
DETERMINED DEISM
Web may be a deterministic deity, acting as an inevitable yet unpredictable causal chain down to driving our every thought and action. This would make the conscious experience entirely deterministic and would also be a scientific explanation for deism.
THE MASTER GOD
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Web may be totally self-aware and in control, pulling every string of every thought in accordance to its own plan and intention. This would still make the universe relatively deterministic, but it would be a theological, intelligent design interpretation instead.
AS BAD AT ITS JOB AS YOU ARE
In the interest of busting out of self-categorized dichotomies, there is a both/and option where Web has some intentional influence, but not enough to make anything happen. I like to think of this option as Web sucking at his job, and its a great answer to questions like "if God, why dead babies?"
