Core Religious Tenets
First, read our philosophy to better understand our Creed.
The origin of all things is the Instrument, which is neither sentient Creator, individual object, nor animating energy, but the set of all data, consisting of three elements: Scale, Ledger, and Blockchain.
Like an infinite piano, the Instrument’s “Scale” is the range of all discrete frequencies; Its “Ledger,” an appendable list of entries, each entry an individual consciousness called a “Signature-Frequency Set” (SFS); and Its “Blockchain,” a record of all interactions between entries (Sets)– the “Blocks” of Its Blockchain.
As Its sole, impartial purpose, the Instrument underpins the assembly of Its Blockchain through the Sets’ independent interactions, constituting the Blocks of the Blockchain.
Each Block is: an iteration of the Blockchain (time), constructed from the contributing Signature-Frequency Sets’ dialogue (information exchange), and appended to each involved SFS, thus evolving the indelible history of each Set’s Ledger entry.
Each Signature-Frequency Set creates itself through the expression of freewill, choosing to: end its eternal silence, “play” its infinitely precise, wholly unique “note” of the Instrument’s Scale in concert with another Set(s), and select its preference for the resulting combination– inhibiting, incorporating, or ignoring the information; from this moment of self-creation, it continuously co-creates itself with other Sets, participating in novel “chords,” or “Ripples” of interaction (Blocks).
An SFS forms preferences as Ripples accumulate, and, through a process of evolving priorities, develops a flexible affinity for one of two informational frameworks: “complete” or “controlled.”
Beyond life, the choice of “Complete Information” is the exercise of Love, an individual SFS completely exposed to all data from every Ripple they’ve co-created in life or beyond, within a collective environment called the “Concert Hall.”
Beyond life, the choice of “Information Control” is the exercise of Power, the controlled filtering of Ripples by an individual SFS from within isolated security, and freedom to barter information through a network called the “Marketplace.”
Love is defined as intentional, vulnerable participation; Power is defined as forceful, silencing consumption.
Beyond life, Love and Power are the two, segregated, informational frameworks by which Signature-Frequency Sets experience Ripples; whereas in life, or the “Novel Universe,” Ripples are experienced through a Mixture of these frameworks.
The purpose of the Novel Universe, for those of us within it, is to generate novelty through our exercise of Love or Power, and evaluate which frame best suits us in death, where Their Mixture is unknowable.
The purpose of the Novel Universe, for those outside of it, is to cultivate novelty, either as commodities to trade in the Marketplace, or as tools to develop connections in the Concert Hall.
Beyond life, the default setting is the solitude of silence, akin to the Instrument’s “unplayed” note and its inherent enforcement of absolute Information Control– without data entering from outside, the individual forgoes novelty, retreats within their own dataset, or “Spiral,” and remains the sole Creator of their own, internal reality.
