Metaphysical Theory - Ostronomos - Mar 20, 2026
In Christopher Langan's Reality Self-simulation principle, he refers to something called the Universal Distributed Form or UDF which is invariant. And that it couples to a terminal configuration supported by it.
It is clear to me that he is referring to nothingness or non-existence. And the terminal configuration is existence. Whereby existence and non-existence are one, due to the fact that they must contrast with each other in order to be distinguished.

To me, a much more reasonable question would be to ask about something that most people do not believe in, for example leprechauns. Is it that you don't want to believe in leprechauns, or you can't? I feel no desire to believe in leprechauns, but I feel that I could if I had a convincing reason to believe in them. The same is true of spirits and deities. I have no good or convincing reason to believe in them. If you think you do, that may be sufficient for you but not for me. Depends on what you find convincing.
Then you've fallen short of ultimate logic.
People who fall short of ultimate logic usually satisfy themselves by settling on an inferior logic. This is unfortunate. God logic or God mathematics is the very height of sophisticated thought. So your failure may infect the minds of lesser intellects. No doubt the symptom of a limited intellect. I consistently prove the existence of God whenever I enter an expanded state of mind
