Core Religious Tenets
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 a piano with an infinite number of keys, the Instrument’s “Scale” is the range of all possible discrete frequencies; Its “Ledger,” an evolving list of all established entries, each entry an individual consciousness called a “Signature-Frequency Set;” and Its “Blockchain,” an indelible record of every interaction between every entry, each interaction a “Block” of the Blockchain.
Each Blockchain Block is constructed from the iterative interactions of contributing Signature-Frequency Sets, and appended to each involved SFS, thus developing the independent, indelible history of each Set’s Ledger entry.
Each Signature-Frequency Set chooses to create itself, thus ending its eternal silence by “playing” its unique, infinitely precise “note” of the Instrument’s Scale in concert with another, and expressing a preference for the resulting “chord” – inhibiting, incorporating, or ignoring the co-created information.
From the moment of self-creation, a Set continuously co-creates itself by participating in “Ripples” – the flowing interactions of the Blockchain’s Sets.
As Ripples accumulate, an SFS forms preferences through the exercise of freewill, while the Set’s evolving priorities flexibly develops an 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 totally exposed to its complete truth: 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 curation of Ripples and manipulation of data by an individual SFS from within isolated security, and the Set’s freedom to barter information through a network called the “Marketplace.”
Love is defined as intentional, vulnerable participation, and is a shared experience, based on what is true; Power is defined as forceful, silencing consumption, and regardless of what is true, is a contrived experience based on one’s preferences.
Beyond life, Love and Power are the two 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 might best suit 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 – the Instrument’s “unplayed” note – and the Set’s inherent ability to enforce 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, whether that be in the light of something or darkness of nothing.
