Perfection, beyond duals

Month, Day: 179, Splendour, Perfection (Perfection)

We have duals of many types, some of which propel cognitive views which are commendable such as how mathematics abets science. 

One has to consider 'subjective faith' in this regard where science agrees with other than materialistic views. Actually, at the basis of modern thought, it is very much so as complex systems (and their many analogs) pertain to little that is 'real' (street sense) without some major morphs coming about. There are knotty items around always, with some old and some new. How can we differentiate? Ought we?

AI is an example that will be of interest for as long as people breathe. What the Writings can bring is a view that can inspire even if it does so cursorily. Even is this true for the Koran/Quran where many ideas that relate currently to a scientific/western thrust can map back, albeit morphed in ways that are to be studied. 

Without further ado, let's just review a notion: Valleys, again. One can see Unity as a region of phasic change, several ways. But, all the way through these partitionings, there is such. 

Mentioning AI, again? It may be that the computational framework can support an unfolding of the lower modes in order to allow mankind to excel in new ways. One key issue now that needs serious attention is the top-down structure as has been exemplified in the cloud (which is muddy almost to the state of opaqueness) which in no way enhances the user. That issue can be resolved. 

An example, a slight perturbation of Spinoza's Ethics would apply. Many have seen this. One problem is the barriers to understanding that have resulted from current methods of mathematics and its child, computationalism. 

The theme will be ongoing as the dynamics of religion/science continue. This realm of open problems was one motivation for the model sketched in the last post.

Breath of life

Month, Day: 179, Splendour, Glory (Contentment)

This is a continuation from a bit of work in 2009. Why October? Far enough in the year to have seen the sweep around the bottom, Names, Might, Will and upward via Knowledge and beyond. Mostly, the 'yearly measure' does not diminish through the activities of the year. 

Adqas, #111: 

• Happy the one who entereth upon the first day of the month of Bahá, the day which God hath consecrated to this Great Name. And blessed be he who evidenceth on this day the bounties that God hath bestowed upon him; he, verily, is of those who show forth thanks to God through actions betokening the Lord’s munificence which hath encompassed all the worlds. Say: This day, verily, is the crown of all the months and the source thereof, the day on which the breath of life is wafted over all created things. Great is the blessedness of him who greeteth it with radiance and joy. We testify that he is, in truth, among those who are blissful.

Italics/bold is mine. This, about yesterday. 

We are in the Transcendent but can be thinking of the Operational. Working model:

• God/Manifestation (see Writings)
• Creation/Covenant (Master, Guardian)
• Philosophy/Mathematics (our knowingness, human creativity)
• Others (Unity, necessary realization, significance)
• Philosophy/Mathematics (applied, operational, mechanical)
• Technology (abilities and artifacts)
• Evolution (energy)

Every month, we visit the Attributes.

Competition

Month, Day: 178, Loftiness, Dominion (Glory)

Koran (64:93, The Believers: 

• God hath not begotten offspring; neither is there any other God with Him: else had each god assuredly taken away that which he had created, and some had assuredly uplifted themselves above others! Far from the glory of God, be what they affirm of Him!

Again

 Month, Day: 178, Loftiness, Sovereignty (Independence)

Earlier, we considered at the Month and its Days where we can look across the way and see the nuances of coming and going. So, that was, mostly, reflecting on Light <-> Questions. The former? Teleological. The latter? Basis of science and knowledge acquisition. Or, Names <-> Will. Being and its actions. 

But, the demarcations are loose, so we could have Grandeur, Light, Mercy <-> Questions. Or, its inverse of Mercy <-> Power, Speech, Questions. 

No end to the mappings. The issue revolves around determining influences as they relate to choices. 

So, we approach an end and start again.

Month and day

 Month, Day: 178, Loftiness, Light (Beauty)

We seem to like Sunday for posts. This is a look-back to the post-Fast period last year: Monthly reflect. Following that, we are at Light ==> Questions. 

As mentioned, it is hard to grasp Transcendent and Ascendant, though there are many ways that we will approach this in terms of the balance of religion and science. Teleological, Operational, and Motivational deal closely with our daily lives and lots of things like efficacy. 

That transition of Names, Might, and Will is right there with respect to time and evolution in all of its aspects. The use of evolution is broad and pertains to progress through time as we deal with matter (and energy). Computational systems are a late example. 

The importance? Let's say, AIn't. Yet, it is, as we need to learn more about intelligence, of ourselves, animals and all other creatures. Human talents are still being left undiscovered. Without a change at the core, that lack of sight will continue.
