HYPOSTASIS AND UNIFICATION OF SCIENCE

Introductory Remarks

The universe requires a triune expression in order to achieve awareness of itself. The concept of the father, son and holy ghost is inherent in the means the universe requires for its manifestation. The father represents the unity and wholeness of the universe, the son the expression of the universe in terms of particularities, and the holy ghost the means by which the unity of the godhead relates to diverse particulars. In one the many and in many the one.. The enfolding of force and form lead to unification of many particularities into a broader compass in order to know the godhead. Synchronous enfolding sometimes go from the oneness to the particulars and other times from particulars to the oneness. It uses the approach most conducive to insight into the mysteries the universe uses to achieve manifestation. The goal of synchronous enfolding is truth. For example, the Michelson-Morley experiment, which without previous misconceptions as to the nature of light, was most consistent with the experiment`s establishing light as an active force and as disproving light as a form of radiant energy, was construed as showing that matter engaged in a conraction in the direction of motion. The experiment was based upon the assumption that light was radiant energy and conducted by persons so committed to that assumption that they could not entertain any other assumption. Our paradigms clearly affect what we treat as facts or parliculars. The errors of science are often caused by faulty deductive reasoning that interferes with an inductive analysis of an experiment.

Synchronous enfolding is necessarily triune in expression. Formrepresents the categories through which the universe become aware of itself, force the utilization of these categories of expression, and enfolding the means by which these categories of expression are utilized. The categories of expression are inherent in the universe, with force being required for the expression of these categories,and enfolding the means by which these categories achieve manifestation.

We in our everyday affairs become concern with the particularities we confront in life. We deal with objects and things and often treat other human beings as if they were ohjects to be manipulated. We at times conclude that only particulars exist and become suspicious of those who claim the unity and wholesness involved in the diverse expression of the underlying interrelatedness of of all things. Yet if we were really isolated particulars we could not communicate one with the and if things were isolated particulars they could not relate with other things. We know that means of interrelatedness do exist. We use them all the time, even when we deny the unity of all manifestations. For these means do exist, there must be an underlying unity that uses these means for its expression. Thus in one the many and in the many the one.

In science mathemarics serve the same function that is served by the holg ghost in Christain theology. Mathematices is the means of relating particularities to a broader compass and of relating a broader compass to particularites. The immense predictive power of mathematic is based upon the large number of attributes of matter that are ignored. It is an abstraction, for example, resulting in the number 8 based upon the numerical quality that 8 apples share with 8 dogs. Algebra, in turn, is a further abstraction based upon the interrelations that numbers have in common. Thus, mathematics although based upon reality goes through increasing degrees of abstraction from reality. Reality with its numerous and diverse features must be simplified for use to come to gripe with it.

Euclidean geometry is based upon the spatial characteristics that things have in common. As are numbers, geometry is an abtraction from things and ignore most of the chararteristics that things possess. In a further abstraction from reality, non-Euclidean is based upon assumed spatial qualities that, although not necessarily possessed by things in common, things are treated as having.

Some of us who should know better miscontrue mathemastics as the most objective manifestation of reality. We forget that mathematics very success and extreme utility is a result of its abstraction and far removal from reality. The objectivity of mathematics is a result of the fact that it is so far removed from reality that our personal prejudices usually do not affect the mathematical conclusions or findings made by those of us who are marhematcians. We should overcome the confusion in our thinking when we treat a mathematical equation as the expression of reality. It is not. It is only a means allowing us to grasp the handle to reality.

Some of us treat the success of science as based upon scientic induction or going from the result of an experiment to a general conclusion. All reasoning, however, worth its salt goes from both the general to the particular and from the particular to the general. Both inductive and deductive thought processes are necessary in effective reasoning. The outstanding contributions made by Newton and Einstein were more based upon their superior deductive reasoning abilities than on their inductive reasoning abilities. In science, we go from particulars to a general conclusion and then use our general conclusion to predict and analyze other particulars. Moreover, what we treat as the results of experiments are affected by prior conclusions we have made and our paradigms under which we construe the significance of an experiment.
