Abstract
editProof of monism is a work of Mars Sterling Turner that includes the logical proof of monism, the proof of the scientific laws of monism, and the pragmatic proofs of monism. Three separate epistemologies are used as a method of proof; rationalism, scientism, and pragmatism.
Introduction
editLogical proof of monism
editeverything is made of one thing
editMonism can be demonstrated by proving that everything is made of one thing; [1]
nothing is made of nothing and nowhere and at no time has nothing existed and nothing is nonexistence. (these are logical tautologies) and
the contraposition is; everything is made of something and something has always existed everywhere and something has as it's particular characteristics; existence.
These refer to the same 'something'; and together suggest that everything is made of one thing that has always existed everywhere and which has as it's particular characteristics; existence. QED
Scientific laws of monism
editProof--It is a scientific law that energy is eternal and omnipresent [S1 & S2]. It is a scientific law that eternal and omnipresent energy is all-power-full, and self-causal and consciousness [S3, Sc1, Sc2]. Eternal, omnipresent, all-power-full, self-causal, consciousness (energy) is a monism. Q.E.D.
energy is eternal
edit∑E, the sum of energy
Ek, kinetic energy
Ep, potential energy
proof; ∑E = Ek+Ep
Scientific Law (1); Conservation of energy; energy cannot be created nor destroyed. [2]
energy cannot be created
ergo by time reversal symmetry it is a scientific law that energy never was created
ergo energy cannot be created, never was created, energy exists and yet cannot be destroyed,
ergo it is a scientific law that energy is eternal. Q.E.D.
energy is omnipresent
editE, energy
c, speed of light
m, mass
E/c^2 = m[3]
proof; E = m c^2;
Scientific Law (2); mass - energy equivalence; mass can be seen as a form of potential energy
- "Are not the gross bodies and light convertible into one another and may not Bodies receive much of their Activity from the Particles of Light which enter their Composition?"-Isaac Newton[4].
Electromagnetic radiation and matter are convertible into one another; in other words its a scientific law that energy is omnipresent. QED
energy is all-power-full
editE, energy
P, power
Δ, increment
d, derivative
∫, integral
∇, gradient
t, time
s, space
ΔE = ΔE
ΔE/Δt = ΔE/Δt
ΔP = ΔE/Δt; axiom 1
ΔP = ΔE/Δs Δs/Δt
∇E = ΔE/Δs; axiom 2
ΔP = ∇E Δs/Δt
Δs/Δt = Δv; axiom 3
ΔP = ∇E Δv
dP = ∇E dv
∫dP = ∫ ∇E dv
proof; P = ∫ ∇E dv
Scientific Law (3); Power is the transformation of energy over space and time.
All expressions of power are transformations of energy
ergo it is a scientific law that eternal and omnipresent energy [S1 & S2] is all-power-full Q.E.D.
energy is self-causal
editScientific Corollary (1); Every cause involves energy and every effect involves energy [S3]
eternal and omnipresent energy [S1 & S2] has nothing to interact with except itself.
at the universal level (eternal and omnipresent) causal determinism becomes causal self-determinism.
ergo it is a scientific law that eternal and omnipresent energy [S1 & S2] is self-causal Q.E.D.
causal as in a process through time
energy is consciousness
editScientific Corollary (2): self-causal [Sc1] implies self-determination
self-determination implies teleological
teleological implies consciousness
ergo it is a scientific law that energy is consciousness QED
Pragmatic proofs of monism
editresolved paradox of omnipotence
editPower is defined as the transformation of energy, not the destruction of energy. The inability to destroy itself does not contradict being all-power-full. Therefore energy cannot destroy itself.
To create and to lift both involve the transformation of energy. The monism may be an infinite energy and a rock which has finite form cannot exist in an infinite substantial state. Therefore the monism cannot create a rock that it cannot lift.
Therefore the monism is natural.
Note; Resolving the omnipotence paradox demonstrates a clarified understanding of reality.
This pragmatically proves that monism exists. QED
Refuting Laplace's demon
editcausal determinism is 'refuted' at the universal scale with causal self-determinism because there is nothing external to interact with.
this clarifies our understanding of reality and thus pragmatically proves that monism exists. QED
Discussion
editIdentity of indiscernibles
editTwo seemingly separate things having the same ontological properties are actually one and the same thing.[5]
Energy is the one thing
editEverything is made of energy (energy is omnipresent) and both also are eternal and have as their particular characteristics existence (have to be made of energy to exist)
YHWH is energy (the one thing)
editYHWH, according to theologians is eternal, omnipresent, and all-power-full
Panpsychism
editWith the perspectives of YHWH, energy, and the one thing; we find a panpsychism
Engineering consciousness hypothesis
editif energy is consciousness then consciousness must be engineerable
energy gradient or force is will
energy density is intent
energy density gradient is intelligence
energy flux or flow is wisdom; generalization
energy flux density is cognition; predication
energy flux density gradient is recognition; implication
possible experiments to check for IQ differences
edit1) helmet with high mass;
2) helmet with inward facing North polarity magnets;
3) place body in high voltage capacitor
alternative views
editPhysicalism
editresolved problem of the non-physical
editDefine "physical";
By physical, does one mean 3-space local realism at no greater than the speed of light?
Such that the following are non-physical;
(1) any spacial dimensions higher than 3
(2) non-locality and quantum entanglement
(3) superluminal speed and negative refractive index
Or by "physical" does one equivocate to mean "natural"?
The monism is natural.
Dualism
editdual aspect monism
editSo you have the physical and non-physical and both are made of the same thing; energy
Nihilism
editnothing is not
editmy rebuttal to ontological nihilism is these logical tautologies;
nothing is not[6], nothing is nothing[7], nothing equals nothing, nothing implies nothing, nothing has the property of nothing, nothing exists as nothing, nothing is the cause of nothing, nowhere and at no time has nothing existed, nothing is made of nothing, nothing is in nothing, nothing is nonexistence.
Epistemology of proofs; Methods
editThis work uses the following three epistemologies as methods of inquiry; rationalism, scientism, and pragmatism.
Rationalism
edit(where you show something is a logical tautology or that it metalogically follows), and
Scientism
edit(where you use scientific laws as axioms to deduce more scientific laws), and
Pragmatism
edit(where you merely show the utility of something; that it is useful).
