Definition

A postulate is a foundational assumption taken as true, from which everything else is derived.

Abbreviation: PS = Postulate

Postulates

PS 16: Substance may be divided into thought, energy and matter.

1. Substance is anything substantial enough to be sensed.

PS 17: The substantially of substance is denoted by its inertia.

1. Inertia of matter is seen as mass.
2. Inertia of Energy (light) is seen as momentum.
3. Inertia of thought is seen as identification.

PS 18: The inertia increases from thought to energy to matter.

1. Thought-energy-matter provide a spectrum of substance.

PS 19: The characteristic of motion decreases as inertia increases.

1. Motion denotes the rate of relative change of substance. 
2. Zero motion shall correspond to infinite inertia.
3. Infinite motion shall correspond to zero inertia.

PS 20: Absolute rest may correspond to infinite inertia.

1. Newton could not conceive of absolute rest.
2. Absolute rest may be approximated by the center of a galaxy.
3. Black holes of extreme density are postulated at the center of galaxies.

PS 21: Infinite rate of change may correspond to no inertia.

1. Speed of light is nearly infinite with no mass.
2. Unidentified thought will be impossible to grasp.
3. Thought vanishes when there is complete harmony.

PS 22: Change in inertia is matched exactly by change in motion.

1. All motion in the body corresponds precisely to shifts in thought.

PS 23: Space describes the extents of substance.

1. Any space is completely filled by matter, energy and/or thought.
2. There is no such thing as a complete void.
3. There is no space in the absence of substance.

PS 24: Time describes the duration of substance.

1. Presence of time means changing substance.
2. There is no eternal substance, such as, soul.
3. There is no time in the absence of substance.

PS 25: Space and time are properties of substance.

1. Space and time are not independent of substance.
2. Without substance there is neither space nor time.

PS 26: Empty space is space empty of matter only.

1. There is always invisible energy or thought in space.
2. When moving in space matter is moving through energy and thought.

PS 27: Eternity is for a dynamic universe only.

1. Substance is always changing, but universe as a system remains.
2. Life is part of the dynamic universe.
3. Humans are also part of the dynamic universe.

PS 28: The dynamic universe is defined by its oneness.

1. All elements of the universe exist in harmony with each other.
2. All chaos is external to the universe.

PS 29: The oneness of the universe is described by harmony, consistency and continuity.

1. Harmony may be observed on a cosmic scale.
2. Consistency may be observed on the human scale.
3. Continuity may be observed on the atomic scale.

PS 30: The universe is converting chaos into order.

1. The universe evolves as it converts chaos into order.
2. Humans form the vanguard of this evolution.
3. The evolution takes place by means of postulates.
