The Foundation

Reference: Essays on Substance

In the book, One Hundred Authors Against Einstein, Einstein was criticized for not providing the philosophic foundations for his work on General Relativity. The philosophic foundation for the Theory of Substance rests on the following statements:

  1. We can know only what we can sense. We then interpret that sensation.
  2. Any interpretation of what we sense is real to the degree that it is continuous, consistent and harmonious with the rest of reality.
  3. All reality is continuous, consistent and harmonious in its nature. This property is called ONENESS.
  4. ONENESS is part of the very derivation of the word UNIVERSE.
  5. Even God is characterized as ONE.

From this foundation flows all logic and the concept of truth and the scientific method.

ONENESS

Oneness does not imply sameness. Oneness means that all that is known is continuous, consistent and harmonious. Oneness lies in the continuity of dimensions, consistency of realities, and harmony of relations.

.

LOGIC

Oneness gives us the ideal scene for logic.

The violation of oneness gives us anomalies, such as, discontinuity (missing data), inconsistency (contradictory data), and disharmony (arbitrary data).

This is infinity-valued logic as compared to binary or multi-valued logic.

.

TRUTH

Oneness also provides the criterion for truth.

The relative truth depends on the absence of anomalies.

.

THE SCIENTIFIC METHOD

The core of the Scientific Method is the CONSISTENCY of experimental results with the actual reality that we observe. This consistency appears as CONTINUITY at very small atomic scales, and as HARMONY at very large cosmic scales. The Scientific Method insists on establishing continuity, consistency and harmony among all elements of a phenomena, whether it is physical or metaphysical.

.

SUMMARY

Oneness is erroneously identified with sameness. Oneness is not a monotone canvas; but a beautiful painting full of colors and forms that are continuous, consistent and harmonious. Oneness appears equally from the cosmic scale down to the atomic scale.
