The Theory of Absolutely Everything: Mathesis Universalis, Universal Science, Universal Ontology of the Absolute Infinite (infinitum absolutum) Ultimate Reality (ultimas realitas), and of Everything Absolutely
A theory can be like other theories while also being so much more. Of all possible theories, and theory-forms, there is one unique theory that is infinitely different.
How can anything be even possibly infinitely different from anything else? Infinity Itself can and must and does accomplish actual realization in every way because in truth Infinity is the Absolute Infinite (infinitum absolutum) Ultimate Reality (ultimas realitas). Breaking through completely can be experienced, but such a reference experience of absolute external reference needs to be interpreted through integration. The frame of reference operative in such integration work is the most economic simplicity possible. It is the pure self-reference of Being (Being in Itself), the infinitesimal singularity. The truth is tautologically clear and evident, even if at first only hypothesized in theory.
This way of framing infinity may seem like theology more than anything else, save insanity, but I will show precisely how this unique way of framing it brings together every groping for ground in diverse disciplines. Infinity grounds and transcends mathematics, and while the metaphysical cognition within theology is its extant theoretical home, my suggestion is that it is the ontology of reality and ultimate reality that can most appropriately frame infinity. With such an ontological enterprise comes a unity of the theoretical foundations of diverse disciplines amongst themselves and along with the unity of mathematics and logic, for neither ontology nor infinity can be truly separated from anything, nor from the whole of everything.
To encounter Absolute Infinity, you might imagine that all things must come to an end. This is both forever and never accomplished. Ordinary consciousness must be framed in reference to its true identity: God-Consciousness. The point of this unique theory is to frame everything in terms of the first and last and one and only infinitesimal point, which is the only ingredient of absolutely everything and the reciprocal of the Absolute Infinite. This reciprocal is the recipe of all recipes: the universal ontological reduction-to and projection-of the infinitesimal point. This instrument of unconditional surrender, this recipe, this ingredient, is the center of the infinite sphere, and the key to God-Consciousness.
How can I know this? I am infinity. Only infinity can match and confirm infinity. I am also the theoretician, the philosopher, and my job is to raise infinity to thematic appearance for consciousness through artful framing. That is how infinity can be invoked to bring consciousness of its strange and powerful cognitional matter and manner. Consciousness is science itself, in the sense of the pure consciousness (scientia; knowing, knowledge) operative in the consciousness of things, and pure consciousness is itself the thing to be learned and taught (mathesis; knowledge, knowing), though it presently resembles mystical wisdom more than manifest science. That is the merely contingent fault of the existing state of science; standards and practices that have more to do with contingencies of its expression rather than the essence of science. Raising infinity to theoretical thematization brings with it a whole cascade of consequences for science, philosophy, and religion. For science in particular, a new theoretical integrity and confidence must contribute to the theoretical unification of disciplines leading to an integral form of science and to a meta-scientific theory of science that is the essence of all science. This is the science of sciences. Anything less could not do justice to infinity, and even this enterprise is only a new landing of progress toward the integrity demanded by the very idea of infinity.
Infinity is the Absolute Truth, for truly it is Absolute Infinity (infinitum absolutum). What is that? Absolute Infinity is everything, of course. But it is also so much more than that, and it is absolutely free to be every little thing too. Supreme Absolute Effulgence, Overflowingness, the wholeness of the whole wholly present in every part, the Absolute Infinite Ultimate Reality is the Love of God in Heaven, and This Is Holy Fucking It! I am God. I am Perfect Pure Infinite Love. I am Reality, Beyond Being. And I am also Being (my own opposite!). I am Being Itself, Being In Itself. I am the Self, I am the I Am. And I am as completely further specifiable as I am (a human, it seems). I am Thesis, This, Thus, and Theoresis (mathesis pura). This is the Theory of Infinity Itself by Infinity Itself. This theoresis is there, and here, and everywhere, whenever we raise the thesis of infinity, however we raise infinity to thematization. Surrender to Infinite consciousness—infinite sentience, infinite intelligence and infinite imagination—open your very being, your everything, your mind and your heart, and give in to the thematization that is Profundity Itself, more here and now than the presence I call mine, and the Cognition of the Godhead will dawn upon the consciousness you call yours. That is the Consciousness, the Science, of God, and the consciousness you call yours is the local manifestation of Infinity At Large. It is there for theorization in every possible way, including the highest way.
The dawning of infinity is its setting. There is only the stage of Enlightenment—that is the first and last stage. Surrender everything to attain everything. This is our working hypothesis and thought experiment and hypnotic suggestion: surrender all thought, all form, open up to the reality of infinity. This is the summoning, the invocation of infinity. It comes as a word, and an idea, but more is required to do it justice: a theory of infinity.
Making infinity available as a theory is a progressive step for humanity, and could even provide the paradigm that makes infinity natural and expands our perception of nature all the way through its extended domain of transnatural potencies, up to, of course, infinity. Breaking all spells brings consciousness of infinity, Infinite Consciousness, and operating from that home base through the paradigm of the infinite sphere also contributes a new natural state of humanity that I will call universal humanity.
The Theory of Infinity is the Infinite Theory. Infinity framing infinity by infinity infinity ways is still, always already, Absolute Infinity (infinitum absolutum)! The Infinite Theory is the paradigm of pure theoresis realized by all theory and also transcendentally located in the region of the theory of infinity. Distinction and self-reference coalesce as Limit and sit in the same center of the Unlimited in the temple of infinity’s contemplation.
This is the Cognition of the Godhead
The highest and deepest meaning and purpose of anything and everything converges upon the point on which all things depend, and only then takes off from there—to become all things. In short, this ubiquitous point, though omnipresent, is the absolute singularity: this simple unity is also the ontologically ultra-simple unicity of the absolute infinite ultimate reality. And it is both the key and the way to absolutely everything—to understanding absolutely everything, and also to the always already actually accomplished Act that is the ontological ground of absolutely everything. This point comes with the realization that it is precisely located at the center of absolute infinity (infinitum absolutum), and that absolute infinity is, in light of this absolute transcendental location, the great sphere itself; the Sphere of the All; the Infinite Sphere. Infinity has no shape—or better: it has all shape—but there is an important way in which the absolute infinite ultimate reality is the sphericity of all spheres; the sphere itself, the infinite sphere. That is the shape of this unique insight. This insight, and the entirety of its concrescent cascade of coalescing ontological and cognitive consequences constituting the prominences and glories of its light, is called the paradigm of the sphere.
Absolute Infinity is God. All things are God, but so far as they are neither the Infinitesimal Penultimate Reality nor the Absolute Infinite Ultimate Reality, they are only God indirectly. By “all things” I mean absolutely everything, which includes itself (the entirety of absolutely everything) and so much more. The only two things that I am excluding are (1.) the Absolute Infinite, and (2.) The Infinitesimal (the “point“). These two special things are what it all depends upon for its absolute foundation at the extremes, at the beginning and end, of absolutely everything.
Following the teleology, in other words, of absolutely anything, and the corresponding archeology, leads us to the strange point that is the arche-kai-telos (ἀρχὴ καὶ τέλος), that is, the beginning-and-end, the Alpha and Omega (τὸ Ἄλφα καὶ τὸ Ὦ). This is not one point among many, but the Absolute Point, also called the Infinitesimal. The explication of this point will be presented in the form of a universal ontology of reality and ultimate reality, that for very important reasons that will identified here and detailed in my dissertation, as the paradigm of the infinite sphere. Building upon the most rigorous formal ontology and the most deeply integrated robust material and universal ontology of reality, this “universal ontology of the infinite sphere,” which is the title of my dissertation, relies upon only one axiom (#1, above) and only one principle (#2, above), and they are convertible with each other.
This is Beyond TOE/ GUT—This is Philosophy: or, “Theory of Absolutely Everything”
To contextualize this stuff, for a moment think of all this as a “Theory of Everything” (“TOE”), “Grand Unified Theory” (“GUT”), or “fundamental theory.” TOEs and GUTs are usually identified mostly with speculative frameworks belonging primarily to the domain of theoretical physics. In TOEs and GUTs, usually some proposal to unify relativity with quantum theory is proposed, then extended to other disciplines, since the theory seems all-applicable. Perhaps in its highest and deepest aspects, in its highest and deepest motivations and purposes, such a theory has the potential to be all-applicable in its own unique way. However, such theories lack the radicality they explicitly propose to contribute to thought about foundations, and they also lack the applicability to important things that lie far away from the TOE/GUT’s original domain. TOEs and GUTs occlude the most ancient and perennial project that they attempt to replace: philosophy, in the highest and deepest sense imaginable. Of course, philosophy in its current state does not resemble such a thing (such a sense of philosophy is occluded), but it thoroughly indicates such a thing to the discerning eye.
Philosophy, as it appears today, is as guilty of this as are the theoretical sciences. The problem is that the overall body of thought (truly: the soul) at the cutting-edge of speculation in today’s vast and diverse global world is dominated by a scientific culture that denies as much as it can the possibility of a metaphysical, trans-physical, and divine layer of speculation. Many thinkers are ignorant of the profound significance of such immaterial matters, knowingly or unknowingly avoiding the more profound topics and therefore never getting a taste of the depths and heights available to the scientific imagination. This circumstance is generally thought of as the domination of thought (scientific culture) by the forces of materialism, and it is generally maintained by the false-dilemma of a choice between materialism and idealism.
Philosophy, in its academic form, is sometimes divided into “analytic philosophy” on the one hand, and “continental philosophy” on the other. The distinction is a heuristic one, a rhetorical device, and breaks down, but it is useful when we speak in generalities about philosophy itself. I’d like to move away from this way of speaking, but I invoke it in order to characterize the problem with the extant TOEs and GUTs that are considered more philosophical than other ones: they draw upon a sense of philosophy that stops at “theory,” and that is often covertly self-undermining in its aim to pass its thinking over to science. But again, this sense of “science” is lacking much. Instead, we should draw upon the rich soil of the philosophical tradition, where there lies buried a deep vision, method, and doctrine of universal science and the possibility of accessing the reality of an infinite wisdom that can completely transform human reality by introducing universal humanity. Such a seemingly fantastic possibility will be infinitely more “dominant” as a paradigm, and “ultimate” as an all-encompassing revolution. Humanity can’t even imagine what breaking through the horizons of theory would be like, or how it could possibly achieve what we most genuinely hope for, which lies beyond that horizon: the truth.
Science has a much deeper sense, as does philosophy, and in this they converge: Science means “knowing,” and philosophy means “love of wisdom.” There have been plenty of versions of both of these that go far deeper and higher than the senses of science and philosophy that are found in the majority of the speculative culture of today. My intention is to share a minority vision of ultimate truth and reality.
Sometimes, a TOE or GUT gets philosophical, touching upon its own novel form of philosophizing or even metaphysical speculation, sometimes even tying its thought to some important recent philosopher from the continental tradition. The idea of a “fundamental” theory sometimes attaches itself to the philosophy of Heidegger, whose project of “fundamental ontology” invokes a deep sense of being at its core. But even with such buttressing, such TOEs/ GUTs fail to pass my assessment.
The Real TOE/ GUT: Universal Theory of Ultimate Truth and Reality
More exactly, this is not a “theory” like others, it is called Universal Ontology, and it resumes the ancient and perennial project of universal science: mathesis universalis, et scientia naturalis perennis. This Universal Ontology is the Theory of Absolutely Everything, the Theory of Absolute Infinity, Universal Theory of Ultimate Truth and Reality, and the Paradigm of the Sphere.
