Preface

This is really a kind of Ontological hypothesis and subsequent Ontological deduction. However, the term "Ontological Proof" is just too sexy to resist!

(This is an attempt to explain what Deep Thought actually meant by "42". (It's a "Hitchhiker's" thing!))

Consider the idea of space.

In order for it to physically exist, space must be internally cohesive: it must be substantial.

Substantial space can be understood through the idea of pure chaos.

Pure chaos, itself, is unstructured. It is actively potential and potentially active: it is absolute creativity.

Externally regarded, pure creative chaos and pure inert space are indentical: they are not phenomenal.

However, pure inert space cannot possibly exist because it is not internally cohesive. With pure inert space, there cannot even be nothingness.

Therefore, the space that everywhere surrounds us is necessarily creative. It cannot be otherwise.

Pure creative chaos is hereby defined as: Energy.

It is extremely important to understand that, qua Energy, there is no such thing as scale, whether durational or extensive.

Energy freely intensifies (condenses) and extensifies (expands).

An Energy intensity is said to be a mass or a being: this is the massive form of Energy.

An Energy extensity is said to be a wave or a radiance: this is the radiant form of Energy.

There are not any possible concepts as absolute massive-Energy or absolute radiant-Energy. These phrases are internally contradictory. Therefore, any determinations of massive-Energy or radiant-Energy are necessarily relative.

There truly is no internality or externality. All beings are constitued by the perfectly entangled "fabric" that is known as Energy. There cannot be any boundaries to separate Energy from itself.

It may be incorrectly thought that massive-Energy causes intensification (condensation). This illusion is called gravity. The correct interpretation is that Energy is perfectly free to intensify, at any time, on any scale. The illusion of gravity is entirely dependent upon a scalar prejudice. A being of a small enough scale will simply experience all of this intensity as radiant-Energy (extensity).

The opposite is also true: Energy is perfectly free to extensify, at any time, on any scale. However, a being of a large enough scale will simply experience all of this extensity as massive-Energy (intensity).

Phenomena are given to beings only by way of radiant-Energy.

The sum total of all phenomena given to a being determines its Universe. Beings that tranform their constituent massive-Energy into radiant-Energy are directly phenomenal. Beings that scatter radiant-Energy are indirectly phenomenal. Beings, as such, are not phenomenal, and are not part of any given being's Universe.

The impossible case of an external perspective of the pure creative chaos that is Energy leads beings to speculate about being-as-such. They have given this concept such names as The Supreme Being or God. All arguments concerning an intentionality that underlies phenomenal regularity are cases of scalar prejudice. On smaller scales, the regularities between beings are understood only as chaotic radiant-Energy. To speak of intentionality is to debase the true "power" of Energy. Energy, as pure creative chaos, is the mightiest of all possible Supreme Beings.

Scalar prejudice can give rise to the illusion of determinism, which is the source of the misguided notions of mathematical ontology (logical positivism) and theistic ontology (theology). Mathematics and theology are merely practical and not truthful.

This argument is [perhaps] the best available answer to the biggest philosophical and scientific conundrums, such as the mind-body duality and the conflict between gravitational theory and quantum theory.
