PURE Part III: The Convergence

Part III of Possibility, Unification, Relating, Economy: An Ontology From Possibility to the Personal The Convergence The structure of the argument is broken into to four parts. Parts I and II establish the logic of the ground and reality, the verb and the noun. They view the resulting reality as the sediment of a perfect, symmetric, infinite openness sustaining a finite, asymmetric creation. It shows how foreclosure shapes reality all the way down through a cost economy. Part I, The Nature of the Ground, explores the logic of the necessity of the act of alternativity. It begins at the premise that absolute nothingness is not a candidate state, that the only absolute necessity is the verb of relating. It then deduces the necessary structure of that verb in order for it to sustain an actualized reality. Part II, The Logic of Creation, does not look to supplant modern physics, but instead shows, through the cost economy established form the ground, how reality is really one act of relating. The shape of physical phenomena (general relativity, special relativity, the born rule, quantum mechanics, cosmology, life, etc) can be explained and unified under one cost grammar. By eliminating the "container mentality" and the "things first", relations/structure second" misconceptions, it clarifies how QM and GR are really two faces of the same ontological economy of cost positions in possibility space. Part III, The Convergence, establishes what the ground must be due to the nature of the logical deductions and physical observations. It runs the alternate ontologies, (secular, mathematical, philosophical and theological) through a sieve and concludes on a non-arbitray "shape". Part IV, The Theology of the Ground, is the author's interpretation and extension once the ground is named. Part IV adds nothing to the logic of Part I, II, or III. It does shows that theology, Even if the specific theological naming is set aside, can also be interpreted through the cost economy. It demonstrates that morality has a logical and ontological price in an relating universe regardless of one's personal beliefs. The abstracts formalize the logic, mathematics and corollaries to support the deductive kernal. Appendix A, specifically, is graded to aid the reader on what is deduction, interpretation, foreclosed history (fossil), and open questions. PURE is not about deriving the specifics of this reality, but to provide shape and meaning to what any reality, freely chosen, must look like. Ultimately, PURE argues that reality is not siloed from one science or study to the next. Laws and constants are really foreclosures that have become ingrained, not derivable from better equations; Persons, consciousness and free will are what one would expect from a universe designed to maximize relating; Morality and black holes are connected, not in substance, but in economy. One act of relating sustaining reality all the way down. It costs infinite "thats" to be "this". Regardless of the reader's stance on the theology, PURE rejects the mechanistic, cold block universe for a living universe with purpose and a teleological end of perfect relating.
