DAVID BIRNBAUM SUMMA METAPHYSICA :
A PHILOSOPHY/COSMOLOGY SERIES
• a hitherto undiscerned overarching dynamic
David Birnbaum Summa Metaphysica philosophy treatise proposes its signature Potentialism Theory.
“Potentialism proposes that there is, indeed, a protagonist to the cosmic order, but that the protagonist is a ‘quest’, and not a ‘classic entity’. The universe quests for its maximal potential. The core dynamic Quest for Potential (Q4P∞) strives with purpose and direction towards ever-greater and higher potential. At the 'beginning of time’, eternal Quest for Potential (Q4P∞) harnessed the eternal equations of Physics-Mathematics to ignite our universe via the Big Bang. This same symbiotic dynamic - Quest for Potential (Q4P∞) in league with Physics-Math - then acted as a catalyst for life, evolution, language, emotion, consciousness, and, indeed, for all the key dynamics which have evolved in the universe.”

Core Issues
classic hitherto key unresolved core issues in metaphysics / cosmology / philosophy / biology:What ignited our universe?
What drives our universe?
Is there a direction to our universe?
What really drives evolution?
Is there one succinct simultaneous answer to all of the above? Yes.
Transform1000.com
There is only one dynamic which is truly eternal -
Potential
Thus, I crafted a cosmology with that eternal dynamic - Potential -
as the 'spinal column' - or the core -
threading through every stage of the metaphysics.
The core proposition
is that there is a
single, overarching, and quasi-eternal
dynamic
hitherto undiscerned
Quest for Potential∞
aka Q4P
which drives the Cosmic Order

the proper sequence
for constructing a metaphysics
FIRST
one must discern an eternal 'something'
(if possible)
/ After a 20-year casual search,
Potentalism/Summa's architect vectored-to Potential/Possibility
THEN
one must discern if that 'eternal something'
could possibly have morphed into an 'eternal dynamic'
/ Potentalism/Summa's architect hypothesizes 'Quest for Potential'
THEN
one must assess if -
having deployed the hypothesized eternal dynamic
as the (dynamic) spinal column
of the journey heretofore of the universe
any sampling of the trillions of historical cosmic data-points
'work' with that spinal column
Indeed, thusly, the architect of Potentialism Theory
(aka Q4P theory; aka Summa theory; aka Quantum Man theory)

Our Potential-driven Universe
The Organic Proactive Super-Computer Super-Organism
What reality is our Universe?
Our universe is a multi-faceted hybrid -
Super-Computer / Super-Organism / Star Nursery /
Elements Generator / Life Creator / Cosmic Voyager /
hyper-expanding neo-bio-sphere suis generis entity
*
Our universe is
self-advancing, self-igniting, self-developing,
self-iterating, self-building-out & self-propelling
*
Our universe is all of space and time - and all their contents,
including planets, stars, galaxies
and all other forms of matter and energy.
*
It is the Cosmic Womb of Potential
*
Our universe inexorably strives after its purpose:
to maximize & optimize its Potential
*
And what type of Super-Computer is our universe?
A Quantum computer integrated into an Organic overlay.
*
It turns out that our universe
is stranger and more profoundly awesome
than any science fiction.
*
As per my core theme
the universe is multi-faceted and multi-layered Potential
*
Per the Potentialism Theory hypothesis
Simultaneously -
# Infinite Quest for Potential drives the universe
# The universe IS Infinite Quest for Potential
in tangible form
*
Our universe is 93 billion light-years in diameter.
It is an expanding, multi-dimensional organic Starship.
As of the early 21st Century, the Starship,
believed to be 13.8 billion years old since 'ignition and liftoff'
had propagated within its fold
100 billion galaxies, each with an average 100 billion stars
or 10 22 stars total
Meanwhile, the Starship expands outwards as it advances forward,
and its rate of expansion is accelerating
Our own local galaxy, the Milky Way,
is moving at a staggering speed of 1.3 million miles per hour
And our own planet Earth -
smaller than a miniscule spec in the scheme of things -
alone has propagated
over 5 billion species to date
*
The universe ongoing gobbles up void as it builds-out,
accelerates and traverses onward and outward
*
Our universe is the original / primordial
A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) computational entity;
it represents "machine learning" on steroids
*
The universe does not have consciousness as we know it;
[ Below I label it QMI = Quantum Mechanics Intelligence ]
however, our Starship voraciously gobbles-up and processes all data -
which it then deploys to advance
its (Potential-driven) objectives and designs
*
Quest for Potential∞
aka Q4P∞
the DRIVER underlying the Cosmic Order
the primus movens
the 'Prime Mover'
*
It is not clear whether the imperatives of the universe data-gathering
stop at any boundaries of personal privacy,
including our thoughts
*
*
The universe is always
computing, assessing, calculating
and then
iterating/expanding/complexifying
towards its next level of Potential
*
As noted, the universe is simultaneously an ever-expanding mega-brain
What we learn, the universe learns;
thus, there is at least some (and possibly great)
intrusion into our thoughts
*
The universe endeavors to be a perpetual motion entity;
It is unclear whether the universe will be successful on this track.
One suspects that the profound, tenacious and ever-learning universe
will inevitably find
a way, a path, a modality -
via one dimension or another -
to continue its inexorable and hoped-for infinite journey
It very well may not have the solution yet....
*
Regarding the origins of this universe-enterprise,
see Chronology1000.com
But, to encapsulate,
originally "0" was somehow split
into positives and negatives
and these also became on-off modalities
which formed the genesis
of the universe-computer
which then calculated & effected
an inexorable & profoundly awesome advance
towards the ever-more extraordinary
*
Our universe is possibly sacred in toto.
At some point we are inevitably faced with the following
bedrock intellectual/spiritual/religious question -
At the origin of origins
was the catalyst of the universe
secular or spiritual/religious?
or
in other terminology
Is our universe - at its core -
Secular or Sacred?
Or, in Birnbaumian terms -
and the question - after four volumes -
which Birnbaum leaves unresolved -
[ on the knife's edge ] -
Are we dealing with
Quest for Potential∞ - or - Holy Quest for Potential∞?

Mar 28, 2013
Physics, unlike metaphysics perhaps, is concerned only with description. However, not all descriptions are created equal; it is sometimes possible to capture large swathes of phenomena with a minimum of formal apparatus. Such superb descriptions are what scientists like to think of as “good theories” (all is, in the final analysis, still mere description, a point that is sometimes lost). The game naturally becomes this: to capture as much as possible with as little as possible.
In Birnbaum’s unparalleled and magisterial Summa Metaphysica, we find a pithy quote attributed to a Nobel prize winner [physicist Lederman] who expresses this dream as capturing the universe in a formula that one could print on a T-shirt. Birnbaum, in a staggering and audacious move, displays a formula below this quote.
The formula just stands there, glorious in its splendid isolation. It reads:
Are we to infer that this is the answer to the dream of the physicist recently quoted? The recondite renaissance man Birnbaum does not tell us, at least not directly, not on this page.
Perusal of Summa Metaphysica, two imposing tomes of recondite philosophical-mathematical-poetic musings, indicates that Birnbaum wants the reader to think of Q4P as a single symbol......

Not Your Ordinary Life Form
The entire universe
is actually
(just) ONE
suis generis
(inter-connected) life form
spanning time & space
- and we are all integral to it
There is only one core entity
(i.e. only one unit)
in this Life Form group;
that entity is The Universe
(i.e. the entire universe en toto)
All other seemingly independent
and autonomous Life Forms
are subsidiary Life Forms
tethered to the 'mother ship'
And, yes, 'The Universe' is 'alive'.
- and 'sentient' and quite 'pro-active'
in its own 'way'.
The celestial bodies may possibly just essentially play the role
of (suis generis) 'skeleton', with the underlying components related-to Dark Energy and Dark Matter, providing the guts of the 'life form' dimension.
The Birnbaum / Summa / Potentialism
hypothesis
(in print 1988 and onwards
with the start of the 3-volume Summa Metaphysica series)
is that our universe is the
TANGIBLE
~eternal build-out
from Summa's hypothesized
INTANGIBLE
(purely metaphysical)
~eternal dynamic
Quest for Potential (Q4P∞)
( YES /
Q4P itself ~emerges-from
the 'potential face' of primitive Quantum Mechanics )

- Thomas Kuhn
1922-1996
Q4P∞ = the Cosmic Instinct
Alive?
How ‘alive’ is our universe?
Humans are alive; is the universe 'alive' like humans are?
The universe is more 'alive' than IBM's Watson computer
But less 'alive' than (21st Century) Humans
Humans - or the evolutionary path which they are on - are the vehicle/platform through which the universe plans/plots/iterates to achieve fuller Complexification
But why does the universe need to go through the process of creating the human-channel to reach higher Complexification?
Presumably, while the chemical/metaphysical composition of the universe has enabled it to achieve wondrous 'Complexification' heights, there is something of a 'glass ceiling' in-the-mix
A different and new off-shoot 'platform' was presumably necessary to enable the possibility of major advance on the crucial inter-related 'consciousness/emotion' fronts.....
Dimensions of altruism, humanism and spirituality may factor-in, as well
Meaning, the universe may quest for these components, as well
WHICH?
Which universe are we?
Are we the universe of the New Atheists -
aimless / random / barren of meaning / purposeless /
with no 'pilot' / with 'potential' irrelevant / a 'Dumb Universe'
or
Are we the universe of Potentialism -
directional / guided / alive with meaning / purpose-driven* /
with yes, a 'pilot' ** / seeking MAX potential / a 'Smart Universe' /
* realization of potential; questing to be ever-more sophisticated & complex
** Q4P∞
Potentialism Theory = Summa Theory = Birnbaum Theory = Q4P Theory = Quantum Man Theory
ARC?
Is there an arc to the universe?
Yes. As explicated by Potentialism Theory, the universe arcs from Eternal Origins via Complexification+ towards Extraordinariation+
Q4P∞, a hitherto undiscerned natural force, is driving this inexorable and rich evolvement
The 'advance' might be 2-4 steps forward - and then 1 step backward
but the advance goes on
And, indeed, Q4P∞
might hit a wall intermittently, and need to back-off,
but it re-groups and advances-forward
It does not quit; it does not yield
Q4P's journey gives life - and meaning - to the universe-enterprise
As noted, E+, like the horizon, can be approached, but never quite realized
The journey of the universe - like the journey of the individual's life -
gives purpose, meaning, and life-force
to the universe-enterprise

Potentialism
a unified & fully integrated - theory / hypothesis
"quod erat demonstrandum"
- D. Birnbaum / NY
our 'Smart Universe' driven by our hypothesized natural force (Q4P)
"......must have known that we were coming"
// THE DYSON QUOTE //
"As we look out into the Universe and identify the many [so-called] accidents of physics and astronomy that have worked together to our benefit, it almost seems as if the Universe must in some sense have known that we were coming."
- iconic scientist Freeman Dyson
- as quoted in The Anthropic Cosmological Principle (1986)
by John D. Barrow and Frank J. Tipler, p. 318
// THE POTENTIALISM REALITY //
Q4P (the prime driver of the universe) was seeking-after something akin to Man;
and was ongoing iterating the universe for billions of years to reach that goal.
It is not that the universe (Q4P) was "expecting us"; rather, that the universe (Q4P) was crafting the building blocks of the universe in alignment - to facilitate our appearance on stage.
- Birnbaum (2020)
Overreach?
I will now advance-forward on our daring - but straight-line -
Potential-driven journey
I will lay out the metaphysics of the Cosmic Order
*
At first you might say that I have overreached
...the universe 'alive'?
But, I have not
*
The only way to crack the code - is to fully play-out the theory,
to take on the entire Cosmic Order, as is apparently necessary
There is no other way
*
This little journey happens to have a
Common Denominator - POTENTIAL -
threading-through every single step of the
pre-Big Bang - and post-Big Bang
time-line;
therefore, from Eternal Origins to the current day
Thus, the journey - stretching-out infinitely
has a built-in and very precise Roadmap
(see 20+ panel Chronology1000.com below)
Is that - in itself - not quite curious and intriguing?
The Potentialsm Theory journey beckons...
*
STARTING POINT
The Initial Mystery that attends any journey is:
how did the traveler reach his starting point
in the first place?
- Louise Bogan,
Journey Around My Room, 1980
The Force?
Did a metaphysical force
Quest for Potential∞
( aka Q4P∞ )
emerge
from the still-fainter metaphysical ether of Eternal Potential
- a force which quests for non-specific potential
a force which then
simultaneously
in due course
ignites our Universe
and becomes
a fully integral part of our
hybrid
metaphysical-physical
Universe
a force which is the driver of our universe
a force which instigated
(the first and all)
physical manifestations of life
and
ongoing
tweaks the genome
to advance life & the universe as-a-whole
along a work-in-progress
non-charted
arc
of Complexification > Extraordinariation ?
Meaning,
a metaphysical quest
for non-specific
tangible & intangible - potentials -
which is driving the Universe
and
driving its evolvement
along multiple axes
a universe which is
expanding and accelerating
as it 'gobbles up void ?
SURE ;)
Q4P∞ → C+ → E+
the catch-all Potentialism super-formula
www.SuperFormula1000.com
# Obviously, this is not so simple; else, the theory would have been discerned prior.
# Please bear in mind, that my theory, however non-conventional, is, respectfully,
bulletproof; whereas the other contending theories are, respectfully, bullet-riddled.
# Note the common thread of potential, start-to-finish.
# Note that Q4P∞ consistently maintains its metaphysical core,
but builds-out from there.
# Remember that 'potential/possibility' is the only eternal dynamic.
# Remember that Quantum Mechanics has a 'potential face', as well.
# Note that life - whose origins and essence (justifiably) remain inexplicable
to the scientific community - astoundingly emerged on Earth 'proximate'
to the Earth's formation - and not many billions of years later.
Birnbaum-Super-Formula
Potentialism Theory = Summa Theory = Birnbaum Theory = Q4P Theory = Quantum Man Theory
HITHERTO
Hitherto, the scientific community has been unable to come up with cogent
theories/explanations for any of the following issues*, among others:
# Eternal Origins
# The landscape pre-Big Bang
# The origin of life
# The essence of life
# The appearance of life on Earth so 'proximate' to Earth's formation
# The Evolution drama
# The purpose of the universe
# The purpose of life
# Quantum Mechanics
# Dark Energy, Dark Matter, Lambda
# The fine-tuned (for life) universe [and the constants thereof]
# The accelerating universe
BUT
It would seem that one Outlier theory
solves all simultaneously
with -
one simple concept
[ Potential drives the universe ]
&
one proposed associated universal formula
[ Q4P∞ → C+ → E+ ]
*some are overlapping

Respectfully,
to advance our study of cosmology
- meaning, the arc of our universe
from Eternal Origins thru the present -
FIRST
one needs to vector
to the seemingly-best
Conceptual Framework
( I have offered MY TAKE )
for a proposed Working Hypothesis
THEN,
the physicists, astronomers, mathematicians, biologists et al.
can interpret/weigh/analyze their equations and formulas
thru that (conceptual) prism
- and see how everything plays-out
[ The Quantum Mechanics theoreticians in particular, may see their equations through an entirely new and enchanting light.]
NOTE -
Almost by definition,
a player highly skilled in 'the conceptual'
may not be the optimal player for 'the equations',
and vice-versa
RESPECTFULLY,
(In the 5,000+ years of civilization)
pre-Potentialism Theory
there has never been
an elegant hypothesis
which has withstood sustained scrutiny
I suspect that Potentialism Theory might....
REMEMBER
there can be
only ONE
standout conceptual metaphysics
AND
that one is likely
to be an Outlier..... from an Outlier
Simple?
This cosmology keeps matters simple
All - from Eternal Origins to the end of time -
is one dynamic -
Q4P∞
- in various permutations and states
Simple.......but not so simple
The Missing
Fifth Force
in Physics
There are established theories for four fundamental forces in physics:
Gravity * Electro-Magnetism * Weak Nuclear * Strong Nuclear
Per Michio Kaku and others, "there is a missing 'Fifth Force'
- a force beyond the forces which can be measured in the laboratory".
Perhaps (overarching) Q4P∞ will fill their quest.
Of course, per my little theory, Q4P∞ is overarching -
and the other forces are subsidiary...

The Fount
Q4P∞
- the underlying
multi-tasker
super-dynamic
hiding in plain sight
# Q4P∞ is not just one of 5-10 major dynamics; it is the sole underlying dynamic
# Everything we observe - or measure - is a permutation or tangent or offshoot or derivative... of Q4P∞

THE ARCHITECTURE
"The bottom line for mathematicians is that the architecture has to be right. In all the mathematics that I did, the essential point was to find the right architecture. It's like building a bridge. Once the main lines of the structure are right, then the details miraculously fit. The problem [challenge] is the overall design."
"Freeman Dyson: Mathematician, Physicist, and Writer".

"Birnbaum considers Quest for Potential∞
to be a ubiquitous and overarching cosmic dynamic...
Quest for its fulfillment
is the underlying core dynamic
of the cosmic order...
All of the countless components of the universe,
including humans,
are striving towards the full realization
of their particular potentialities...."

a proposed all-embracing
new paradigm
Potentialism Theory - Potential Drives the Cosmic Order - is unique, original and all-embracing.
The formula/theory apparently works across both depth and breadth - universally.
In depth the proposition apparently seamlessly works from macro through micro levels.
In breadth, the proposition apparently seamlessly works across the billions of years of known cosmic history;
As well, the theory works elegantly with Q4P (Quest for Potential∞) as the proposed catalyst of the Big Bang itself. Thus, the plot thickens.
The formulation has 100+ articles and 100+ distinguished testimonials to its credit. A Course Text at top universities around the globe, the fully-integrated theory provides a simultaneous solution to a cluster of hitherto intractable bedrock issues.
Since Summa I was published (by Ktav) in 1988, the theory has sent shock waves through the global cosmology and metaphysics establishments. These establishments are entrenched and to a great extent militantly wedded to their (theory of no-theory) Randomness for well-over 150 years.
Inertia? Group-Think? Go along to get along? No viable alternative pre-Summa? Pressure from the hard-line (anti-directional universe) academic clique which controls many key legacy British journals? Route to tenure blocked if the Randomness 'party line' is not toed? Some combination of the above? Whatever the reason, debate has effectively been strangled for a long, long time.
Enter Summa Theory. With philosophical roots in 'directional' Aristotelian thought, revolutionary (and non-aimless) Potentialism Theory sets the stage for a re-boot of literally all scientific fields - across both the hard and soft sciences. All.
As noted, the theory can be encapsulated in the one concise formula noted: Q4P > C+ > E+. No exceptions to the formula across the trillions of data points from the Big Bang to this moment. No infinite quantity of universes needed to get to 21st Century humans.
In the mix, the theory simultaneously and neatly lances metaphysics, cosmology, teleology and "purpose". Cogently and concisely. No fat; No flaws. Good to Go.
Let's Roll.

Potentialism Theory gives its own 'take' on evolution;
Potentialism rejects Natural Selection/Random mutation
as unscientific and fatally flawed on multiple fronts
Q4P∞ = the Cosmic Instinct
Inductive1000.com
Bulletproof?
Potentialism Theory presented via David Birnbaum's
3-part treatise Summa Metaphysica
is a new paradigm metaphysics.
The theory is seemingly bulletproof -
and is the only known metaphysics
which is proved inductively
Obviously, there can only be one correct metaphysics.
Proposed, developed, enhanced and vetted
since Summa I (1988),
Potentialism Theory challenges
for that solitary position
on the metaphysics/cosmology chessboard.
As the aphorism goes
in various permutations -
"we stand on the shoulders of giants,
but indeed, perhaps we achieve
a broader, richer, deeper, more fully-integrated
perspective, insight and truth"
Note that fine-tuning of the theory
will undoubtedly unfold.
For 40+ page Inductive Proof presentation
by Mark Davis, see
Inductive1000.com
I have been on the case since 1960.
Others - like Andrei Alyokhin -
have proposed that this metaphysics
be deployed as the operative working hypothesis.
The theory is cutting-edge,
to put it mildly
It is "not your mother's Oldsmobile"

To the Readership
I believe that humanity can do better than the sterile, bizarre, nihilstic, and counter-intuitive Randomness formulation - currently foisted across much of academe - as its bedrock working hypothesis.
Per the Randomness proponents, our entire highly sophisticated and fully-integrated universe - ongoing for 14 billion years - is the result of random chance.
Randomness Theory is essentially madcap Alchemy on steroids - propped-up by a delusional reactionary clique.
*
We prefer to deal in the realm of reasoned and serious thought.
Potentialism Theory (explicated here) is an elegant and powerful formulation; it is rich, multi-faceted, heavily vetted, and bulletproof.
The Cosmic Order and our universe are, indeed, quite fine-tuned. And 21st Century humans - and their associated consciousness - are not accidents of cosmic chance.

new paradigm hypothesis
making all these
sweeping 'simultaneous' claims....
Q4P∞ = the Cosmic Instinct
The Bogus 'Flaw'
Since the Bard Conference (April 2012) the cohorts aligned against Summa Theory -
SELF SELECTING -
British jingoists - Darwinists - Randomnists - Hard Line Atheists
- have propagated a misguided and (pathetically) futile line-of-attack (against Summa Theory).
The (errant) line-of-attack of the Randomists runs as-follows:
Since the Second 'Law' of Thermodynamics
(in short, that dynamic isolated systems ultimately implode from entropy)
would not allow-for an inexorable force like (Summa's) Q4P∞ driving the universe, Summa must be wrong.
But, wait -- the Randomnists argument is with astronomy itself ! --
that we have an expanding universe at all - after 14 billion years;
their argument is not with Summa Theory.
The problem is owned-by Second Law:
How can we have an ever-expanding universe if Second Law is correct ?
In point of fact, Summa Theory actually rescues Second Law:
[ here is the rescue ]
The reason that Second Law's entropy does NOT implode our expanding universe,
is because Birnbaum's Q4P∞
[remember Einstein's original LAMBDA, boys]
is driving the universe (outward).
The Randomists should really stick to doing what they do best: character assassination;
they should absolutely avoid anything involving actual critical thinking.
the sole eternal 'something'?
The Eternal Dynamic:
POTENTIAL*
AS ETERNAL
A central proposition of Summa:
“Potential” is the sole “concept/dynamic” which can
safely be posited as having been eternal.
By definition.
Meaning, by definition “Potential” – and only “Potential” –
can be conjectured to have been “eternal.”
Upon careful reflection, the above is self-evident.
For “Potential” vectored-in onto – and crystallized-into –
its own maximal Potential arc.
“Potential” thus achieved traction –
and has never looked back.
– Birnbaum
* Potential / Possibility
Potentialism Theory = Summa Theory = Birnbaum Theory = Q4P Theory = Quantum Man Theory
The Eternal Dynamic:
POTENTIAL
AS CENTERPIECE
Why does it make sense
to craft a metaphysics
centered around Potential?
To craft a metaphysics, one must commence at eternal origins;
and to commence at eternal origins
one needs an eternal dynamic
A primary goal in any metaphysics is an overarching cosmic dynamic;
and a logical overarching cosmic dynamic would be some
extrapolation of the eternal dynamic
Therefore,
once one has delineated
a truly eternal dynamic,
one can play
in the metaphysics sandbox
– Birnbaum
The Eternal Dynamic
1 Why?
Why should this particular metaphysics
(Potentialism Theory)
succeed - when countless others have failed
over the centuries?
The core architecture/platform
of Potentialism Theory
was quite-carefully crafted.
Hitherto, all other metaphysics have failed -
because they deployed
different cores - or starting points*
than eternal Potential**
for their respective metaphysics
Obviously, they are doomed to failure.
- for they are not anchored to an eternal dynamic***
(of which there is only one*, as noted)
And, frankly, it took me well over a decade
to vector to the above-noted eternal dynamic
* or no starting point at all
** Actually Potential/Possibility might be more accurate,
but I choose to focus on Potential - as it is a 'richer' term
*** In retrospect, how could one entertain crafting a metaphysics otherwise.
David.Birnbaum.NY@gmail.com
The Eternal Dynamic
2 Why?
Why so difficult to grasp?
Why is it often so difficult for Westerners, in particular, to grasp the
Quest for Potential (as the prime force)
proposition?
Westerners start out as youngsters with the imagery of
(a hidden)
but tangible
God on His Throne (as the prime force) proposition,.
It is thus hard to segue' to a concept of a
(hiding in plain sight)
quest - a non-tangible something -
seeking
Potential - a non-specific - and very subjective - goal.

Brief Background
I started on this cosmology journey
~1960
when I was 10 years old /
I was a student (5th grade)
in Modern Orthodox (Jewish)
Yeshiva of Forest Hills (Queens, NY) Day School
- with astronomy as a casual hobby (no intensity)
*
In the background, was the Big Bang Theory
- as well as the Holocaust
incongruent subjects to many - but not to me
*
I gave myself 25 years to crack the cosmic code
I am now ~60 (consecutive) years into this little project
*
I believe I have made some headway....

“Birnbaum's masterpiece work Summa Metaphysica is perhaps the first offering of a new school of spiritual potentialism.” “An original and in this reader’s opinion, very promising point of view. ... the author gathers a philosophically coherent and, in the end, highly modern insight ... He appropriately describes it as a unified metaphysics within the constraints of Jewish doctrine, consistent with its historical development, and consistent with secular scientific thought ...” “Birnbaum’s Summa Metaphysica II: God and Good is a major intellectual triumph and potential conceptual breakthrough ... it endeavors to weave It-from-Bit Theory into a unified metaphysics - Birnbaum’s (new) School of Potentialism.” “Remarkable and profound, Summa Metaphysica II rounds out the author’s powerful and original Cosmic Womb of Potential metaphysics ... Has the author indeed founded a new field — Potentialism? ... Did we all miss the obvious all along?” “If iconoclast private scholar Birnbaum is the founder of the metaphysical School of Potentialism via his ‘infinite divine potential’ construct, then Daniel Khalil is his foremost Modern Orthodox Jewish explicator.” “Iconoclast Birnbaum is a daring and dynamic intellect ... His avantgarde Potentialism may turn out to be totally wrong — or may turn out to be the ‘irresistible force’ ... perhaps best not to bet against the fascinating hypothesis.” |

Q4P∞ = the Cosmic Instinct
"May the force be with you"
"Boldly go where no man has gone before"
David.Birnbaum.NY@gmail.com
The (true) Origin of Life
in the Cosmic Order
----------------------------
The emergence of Q4P∞ from Eternal Potential
is the origin of metaphysical life
in our universe
--------------------
When metaphysical Q4P∞ transmutes at the Big Bang (13.7 billion years ago)
into its metaphysical-physical hybrid state 'Universe",
life is de facto initiated/introduced/embedded into our universe
(simultaneous with the Big Bang).
Allegorically,
(Mophie/battery) Q4P∞
plugs-into (CellPhone) Universe.
catalyst for Complexification on Earth
-------------------------------------------------
Thus, life, seemingly the most complex/profound "thing" of all,
comes at the very beginning of Complexification (C+) on Earth,
(as it was transplanted from metaphysical realms),
and not billions of years into its trajectory.
How is that?
Because no Complexification (of life Forms) can occur until there is the spark of life
Therefore Q4P∞ needed to get us to life quickly
Therefore, Q4P∞ needed to (first) transmute itself > our Universe
Therefore, (first) the Big Bang
But, again, how did the most complex/profound "thing" come so early?
Because as noted, the spark of life (via Q4P∞)
had actually been on the march - in purely metaphysical form - for eons pre-Big Bang
Potentialism Theory = Summa Theory = Birnbaum Theory = Q4P Theory = Quantum Man Theory
Key Steps to Life
1) Q4P∞ emerges from Eternal Potential
2) Q4P∞ transmutes > (into) our Universe (at the Bang point)
in part to instigate the life platform
3) (Per Potentialism Theory) Life actually emerges on Earth simultaneous
with the birth of our planet:
However, here is the current scientific widsdom:
13.70 billion years ago: Big BangPer Potentialism Theory, evidence of life should increasingly be discovered ever closer and closer to the formation of the planet (4.54 billion years ago)
*
It is not that life happened to emerge on Earth
Rather,
Q4P∞ (the pure-metaphysical life force) transmuted > our Universe
as the necessary (precursor) morphing to launch metaphysical/physical life
- with the Earth, in turn, being the designated platform for the 'genesis/creation' of life
But, metaphysical life came along for the ride with Q4P∞;
and metaphysical/physical life (example: human life later down the road)
was thus only a mini-step away
Platforms**
Q4P∞ builds-out platforms
as advanced bases for Complexification
Universe > Earth > Life > ............................Humans
with all respectively being (stacked) platforms/bases in progression

Once
a) one accepts as a working hypothesis the Big Bang theory
(the crucial corroborating [background radiation] evidence came in 1964)
b) and considers a core premise of Potentialism Theory (see Summa III [2014])
that Q4P∞ ignited the Big Bang
c) and notes that life began proximate to the formation of the Earth
d) and considers Potentialism's premise that Dark Energy and Dark Matter are (direct) derivatives of Q4P∞
e) and notes how Dark Energy and Dark Matter are the preponderance of the universe
f) and notes our ever-expanding and now accelerating universe
g) and notes the various (extraordinarily improbable) twists and turns that the universe
seems to have taken enroute to life - and in sustaining life - on earth to this day,
h) and notes the related extraordinary fine-tuning of the many, many constants necessary for life on earth
i) and notes how the very laws of physics may have been altered over the eons
j) and considers that Q4P∞ is the catalyst and driver - and complexifier - of the universe
THEN
(k) it is not a super-leap to hypothesize -
# that our universe was/is the 'incarnation of choice' for formerly 100% metaphysical Q4P∞
# that the core underlying dynamic was seeking a platform - a more versatile and powerful hybrid metaphysical-physical platform - from which to launch/sustain/develop (physical) life - and direct the next levels of Complexification enroute to Extraordinariation.
# that Q4P∞ was compelled to morph for the purpose (just-noted)
# that the formerly purely metaphysical core dynamic (Q4P∞) transmuted via the Big Bang into a hybrid metyaphysical/physical entity - our universe.
as Working Hypothesis
the Good News......is that 99% probability the theory is correct
the Bad News........is that all the textbooks will need to be changed -
across ALL the sciences - hard & soft -
as there is now a new 'platform'
And, you know, change the platform - and you 'change the entire game'

www.Alyokhin1000.com
our 'Smart Universe' driven by our hypothesized natural force (Q4P)
cracking the cosmic code
(abridged)
...of first tier of Potentialism Terms
Over the past three decades (since KTAV published Summa I in 1988) Birnbaum's Potentialism Theory has been built-out. As such, it has developed its own lexicon to describe its fundamental principle of Potentialism.
Potentialists define the universal drive of cosmology as the Infinite Quest for Potential. This is the inherent “drive” of the cosmos to seek its own ever-further complexity/sophistication/wondrousness.
Potential journeys towards a non-concretized state of infinite complexity/sophistication/wondrousness. The universe moves inexorably towards this infinite goal.
Potentialism
Potentialism itself represents a new metaphysics/science for a new century. It provides an overarching 21st century metaphysics that seeks no less than to encompass the scientific, the religious, the spiritual, the secular and the philosophical.
Fully encompassing all modern science, Potentialism is potentially (repeat: potentially) a candidate - in due course - for a (true) Theory of Everything – not only in scientific terms, but in all terms meaningful to humankind.
Potentialism seeks to arm those seeking an understanding of the cosmic order with the tools necessary to have a “seat at the table” for this new metaphysics. All are invited as science comes back to the metaphysics table after a de facto three century, post-Spinoza hiatus.
Following is an (abridged) short glossary of core, key terms of Potentialism.
Q4P∞ The Infinite Quest for Infinite Potential
- usually shortened to Quest for Potential in conversation, though the formal name best represents the iterative, infinite nature of Potential. This represents the universe’s innate drive towards fulfilling its true potential. Also commonly denoted as Q4P∞ or, super-shorthand: Q4P.
Note that there are multiple embedded infinities in Q4P∞:
See Infinity-3.com
CWP
C+ Complexification
The hypothesized cosmic intermediate drive – “Q4P’s handmaiden” – maneuvering the cosmos towards greater complexity/sophistication/richness/integration/variety/wondrousness.
In turn, note that one of the components of Complexification just-noted above is ‘integration’; meaning, Complexification does not occur divorced from the cosmic landscape; rather, Complexification integrates into-the-process the harmonization/optimization of the ongoing Complexification with the existing bio-landscape.
Complexification seeks quantum jumps – QJs (see entry in this same Glossary) – as opposed to incremental advance.
In its ongoing march of Complexification – the universe moves ever-and-ever closer to what Birnbaum calls Extraordinariation (E+) – the universal end-goal – a horizon to be approached, but never quite realized – and a state otherwise defined as hyper-Complexification.
E+ Extraordinariation.
The end-target of this journey towards increased complexity/sophistication/wondrousness is referred to as Extraordinariation (see Extraordinariation.com). Extraordinariation is not so much a precise destination as an ideal goal to be sought-after, albeit never quite fully-realized.
Note that Q4P itself does not quite know precisely what E+ looks like. Q4P is so to speak 'finding its way'. Along these lines, the Cambrian Explosion may have been a re-set.
Q4P∞ → C+ → E+

Push-Pull
Q4P∞- directed Evolution
Evolution is not directed by
Natural Selection / Random Mutation
(the fatally-flawed Darwinian theory)
Evolution is hyper-intelligently designed
by Q4P∞ - a secular dynamic
primed as-its-essence
to build-out Complexification (C+)
enroute to Extraordinariation (E+)
There is, thus, respectfully,
a powerful secular resolution path to resolving/understanding
the extraordinarily intelligently-crafted
hyper-complex and ongoing journey of Evolution
The hitherto intractable scientific conundrum of Evolution
is elegantly resolved (by Potentialism Theory)
without deploying concepts of Creator-designed Evolution
'Complexification Evolution'
Potentialism Theory rejects both
(a) Creationism and (b) Natural Selection
Rather, species have (ensemble) inexorably evolved through
my hypothesized
"Complexification Evolution",
This ever-unfolding dynamic
vectors towards Extraordinariation+
by my hypothesized (secular)
(evolving Quantum Mechanics-based)
Quest for Potential∞, ( Q4P∞)
( with Q4P∞ being
the hitherto undiscerned and underlying
primal & ~eternal
cosmic force/dynamic ).
The track of 'Complexification Evolution'
inexorably follows my hypothesized SuperLaw,
Q4P∞ → C+ → E+
Simultaneously, on a personal level, I believe that our (secular) universe of Potential itself quests after (elusive) God and Spirituality -
as components of its inexorable march towards Extraordinariation -
under the umbrella of the same above-noted hypothesized SuperLaw:
Hyper-Intelligent Design
# Evolution is, indeed, driven by hyper-intelligent design
# The designer/iterator is (secular) Q4P∞
# (asserted) Natural Selection / Random Mutation is a non-starter
# No need to deploy the biblical 'Creator' here
# Q4P∞ re-configures genes and designs new ones;
The 'designer' does not re-purpose mutations

And, the-rumor-is
that to preserve that last trophy
'the Empire' - and its 'stellar acolytes' -
The Guardian, Cambridge U & its Research Associates, et al.
have gang-like bullied the Western academic world
- and stifled academic advance -
via a trans-Atlantic racketeering-like modus operandi

jarring character assassination - and the like ]
for well-over 100 years

Of course, only a rumor
Something from Nothing?
Creation ex nihilo?
Not exactly.
More precisely,
Creation ex Potential
( Creation out of Potential )
But is Potential something or nothing?
Depends on how you look at it.
As noted,
Potential is Eternal - By definition.
Indeed, it is self-evident that Potential is Eternal.
And, Potential/Possibility is the only 'something'
which occupies this unique (eternal) conceptual space.
Thus, we have our suspect.

Q4P∞ = the Cosmic Instinct
Postulate #1. Universes do not simply pop-up
Postulate #2. There may or may not be more universes
Postulate #3. If there are other universes. they will each need-be
(a) Potential-based - because Potential is the only eternal something and then
(b) Q4P-ignited, and Q4P-driven
Postulate #4: All universes are hence directional.
Why? Because, as elucidated above, there would appear to be only one eternal dynamic - Potential/Possibility - and without it in the mix, no universes are making an appearance. And with Potential in the mix, every single one of these universes will be quite directional and quite interesting.
As regards the Randomness play re: multiverse....
As we are aware, the Randomness crew found itself in seeming checkmate as a consequence of the 1999 Martin Rees book Just Six Numbers which demonstrated clearly fine-tuned universe, and de facto showed directional universe. The direction of fine-tuned universe? seeking life.
In desperation, the Randomness crew formulated the following attempted escape hatch: Our universe may be directional, but our universe is a random fluke; there are infinite universes, and ours happened to hit it lucky. Meaning, (post-1999) per segments of the Randomness crew, there are Infinite -1 totally aimless universes, and 1 fine-tuned universe (ours).
This escape hatch is fatally flawed, however.
1) As elucidated above, if there are other universes, they are directional.
2) the Cosmic Order has better things to do than to waste virtually limitless energy launching infinite -1 aimlessrt (and dead-end) universes. [See also Occam’s Razor, wiki]
3) Randomness does not and cannot generate a universe - even a very primitive one.
4) Classic and well-established Probability Theory would reject the "infinite -1 aimless universe theory" with the Cosmic Order randomly birthing, sustaining, and driving our extraordinary and ever-iterating universe over a 14 billion year span as a viable denouement. Probability Theory can be deployed for possibility, not for de facto impossibility*.
*See Lloyd, Programming the Universe, Knopf, 2007, NY, p. 57:
“In fact, the chance of an ordered universe like ours arising out of random flips of a coin is so small as to be effectively zero.”

'The Second Law of Thermodynamics'
can be deployed as a strong proof positive for
Potentialism Theory
see SecondLaw1000
For starters, after 14 billion years,
our universe is accelerating and expanding;
but, per the 'law' it should be imploding from entropy?
So, enter our (hypothesized) Quest for Potential∞ to trump entropy.
Potentialism Theory = Summa Theory = Birnbaum Theory = Q4P Theory = Quantum Man Theory
The 'Law' that is not a 'Law'
The Second Law of Thermodynamics is actually not a classic 'law of physics' but, rather, a hypothesis ostensibly based on empirical findings.
But, does our ever-expanding universe itself not frontally
contradict this lovely 'Second Law' hypothesis?
Or, are we forced to play games re: closed (or isolated) systems?
In any event, Summa Theory rescues the thermodynamics hypothesis - as Summa Theory explains the very glaring contradiction (of our ever-expanding universe).
But, the weak - and open-ended - thermodynamics hypothesis (see above) most certainly cannot undermine Summa Theory.
The 'bottom line' question might be:
# Why continue to award a frail hypothesis the designation of a physics 'LAW' (of the universe), when the universe as-a-whole (in-our-face) belies and contradicts the core thrust of the (currently defined and frail at-best) hypothesis?
# Is it because the Royal Society (British) - which Lord Kelvin (one of the authors of 'Second Law') presided over - may not want to undermine yet another British icon, aside from Darwin?

# How does Dark Energy tie in with all-of-the-above?
# Can there ever be any universe without Summa's Q4P∞ in the mix?

"The mob" - the reactionary alliance of
SELF SELECTING -
British jingoists - Darwinists - Randomnists - Hard Line Atheists
has fought to the death Gaia's (correct) core proposition. As per their usual nefarious tactics, the pro-Darwinists endeavor to swarm, defame and and de-legitimize directional universe theorists. Not via the force of argument, but rather by planting snarky articles, academic blackmail and reputational rape. All under the enabling blessing of the British government - and the Royal Society (London). At all costs - and by any means - upholding the (dead man walking) theory of Britain's favorite son Darwin.
By its usual 'sleight of hand', "the mob" endeavors to debase Lovelock (the Gaia formulator) and explain all via (fatally-flawed) Natural Selection/Random Mutation - whose advocates - including the Cambridge University (alma mater of Darwin) ecosystem - have bullied the Western academic world - and stunted the advance of science - for well-over 100 years.

Selected Quotes from
ON BEING*a
by Dr. Peter Atkins*b
Celebrated atheist Oxford U scientist Peter Atkins
[2011] admits that [establishment] science remains stymied by a series of important questions (see just-below);
however, Potentialism [1988, 2005, 2014, 2020]
elegantly hypothesizes [integrated] answers to all of them.
See, in particular, www.Chronology1000.com
printed in Summa IV [2020].
As well, the [widely-circulated]
Huffington Post piece (June 10, 2015)
"David Birnbaum Cracks the Cosmic Code"
(see www.HuffPost1000.com)
addresses the core issues of Atkins' angst.
“The first great question of being is one that has probably entertained us all at one time or another: where did it, the universe, all come from? How did it begin?...” (p. 1)
“There are, in fact, three related profound questions to address in the context of creation. One is the mechanism of the coming into being of the universe: what actually happened at the beginning? Another is whether there is any meaning to the question of what preceded the universe and had, in some sense, the potential to become a universe. Here we are confronted by the linguistically and conceptually engaging question of whether absolutely nothing can have potency to become something. The third is whether an agent was needed to trigger the process of cosmogenesis, the process of turning that nothing into what is to all appearances something, or can nothing turn itself into something on its own? All three questions sound as though they might fall within the range of science to answer. A fourth question, why there is a universe, is rather different, but still apparently very interesting….” (p. 2)
“As a result of their intrinsic caution, almost every scientist is wisely unwilling to express a view about the events accompanying the inception of the universe.
Quite honestly, they haven’t a clue….” (p. 5)
“The task before science in this connection will be to show how something can come from nothing without intervention. No one has the slightest idea whether that can happen and, if so, how it can come about….” (p. 11)
“The unfolding of absolutely nothing—what out of reverence for the absence of anything, including empty space, we are calling Nothing—into something is a problem of the profoundest difficulty and currently far beyond the reach of science. It is, however, a target at which science must aim even though to some, even to scientists of a pessimistic or perhaps just realistic bent, it would seem to be for ever out of science’s reach….” (p. 12)
“Presumably before the creation, when there was Nothing, there was no charge; so the coming into being of the universe was accompanied by the separation of ‘no charge’ into opposites. Charge was not created at the creation: electrical Nothing separated into equal and opposite charges….” (pp. 13-14)
“I promised to return to the question of why there is a universe. What is its purpose? Something so big, complex, and all embracing some hold, must be there for a reason….” (p. 18)
“…science is a ceaseless probing with a view to overturning authority….science, though delighted by the glorious complexity of the world, seeks the
simplicity that lies beneath it….science is extraordinarily difficult, as it seeks covert mechanism….science is ever thrusting forward, wriggling into new modes of understanding,…science gives an opportunity for humanity to achieve the aspirations it already has and opens its eyes to new ones….” (pp. 26-27)
“A scientist, the arch-descendent of Occam, looks first for the simplest explanation, then builds elaborations only if the explanation’s barren, rocky simplicity proves inadequate….” (p. 33)
“One problem with evolution is how it began. Competition between primitive organisms is all very well, the triumph of one message over another,
but how did matter step across the national bridge from the inorganic to the organic in the first place?
...It would be much more satisfying—satisfying of curiosity, intellectually satisfying, and possibly spiritually satisfying—if we could find a physical process by which that gap was bridged, presumably without the apparent intervention of an agent….” (pp. 38-39)
“…Scientists are still puzzled about how this complexity [of life] emerged under the impact, presumably, of natural selection, and it remains a problem of evolution. That is not to say that there are not many ideas about how it came about. Just as for the origin of life itself, which is still a real puzzle, evolutionary biologists are not without ideas, but have not yet identified which, if any, is valid….” (pp. 60-61)

Each still ‘directional’
There may or may not be other universes;
but, per Summa Theory,
any palatable universe must individually still be ‘directional’ -
and Q4P∞-drven
As we have seen.,
over the past 5+ millennia,
only a Q4P∞-driven-universe
can, indeed, be 'critically understood'
NO Q4P∞; no universe
YES, Q4P∞; maybe a full-fledged universe

Respectfully, nihilists and fellow travelers
trying to explain-away our own universe
as a consequence of (random) chance -
and the roll-of-the-dice of hypothesized random multiverse -

The Visual Horizon
There is a limit - 'the visual horizon' - of how far back in time 'science' can 'see', i.e. there is a limit to 'visualization'..
Essentially, of course, the 'limit' is the Big Bang (13.8 billion years ago) - and the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation(discovered 1964 is the 'trace evidence'.
Now, physicists, like all of us, like visual evidence, testability, and supporting equations - so scientists are on very uncomfortable ground in peering behind the Big Bang.
Indeed, scientists, in particular, are not wired for doing so
But this is not shocking; it is rare for an individual or a cohort (like scientists) to be adroit both in the physical sciences - and, simultaneously in conceptual/creative fields (like metaphysics incorporating the pre-Big Bang time zone.)
Possible (to be really good at both), but improbable.
MIT students do not necessarily do great at Harvard - and vice versa
First Key:
Now, the first key to the solution of peering behind the veil of the Big Bang - is to discern / isolate-on an eternal dynamic - if there is one.
This I have allegedly done, as you are aware. (Potential, per my series Summa Metaphysica, is eternal.)
Once one has isolated on that dynamic (Potential), one can, so to speak reverse-engineer the Cosmic Order. <<< my educated conjecture
But how/where does one start?
Second Key:
Well, the next key to the kingdom is the following:
Humans mimic the Cosmic Order - and vice versa; the two are mirror images.* <<< my educated conjecture
Thus, one can potentially often fill-in gaps in our understanding of each (humans, Cosmic Order) - by examining/dissecting its mirror image..
This (mirror imaging) is an 'imprecise science', but it gives us a powerful tool.- if used in conjunction with the right Working Hypothesis.
[Yes, we assert that Potentialism Theory is the appropriate Working Hypothesis.]

The Cambrian Explosion
and our Theory
Earth: formed: ~4.5 billion years ago
'Before the Cambrian explosion, most organisms were simple...' ***
Cambrian explosion: ~ 0.5 billion years ago
'....an event approximately 541 million years ago in the Cambrian period
when most major animal phyla appeared in the fossil record.
It lasted for about 13 – 25 million years
and resulted in the divergence of most modern metazoan phyla.
The event was accompanied by major diversification of other organisms.' ***
So, focusing on Q4P∞, what is happening in this picture?
My best assessment is that for Q4P∞. the first 4 billion (post-formation of Earth)
year period was 'schooling' / 'warm-up'
Q4P∞ experimented and learned; it steadily advanced up the slope of the learning curve
At the Cambrian point, Q4P∞ made-its-move
It had just tested the gears for Complexification for 4 billion years -
and Q4P∞ astutely integrated the new-found knowledge
At Cambrian it mustered its powers - and choreographed/designed a new platform for Extraordinariation - the explosion of diversified organisms...

of humankind to advance Q4P∞'s ongoing universe-wide objectives;
and, of course, humankind's consciousness and emotion are

The universe is many billions of years old,
and a typical human has a life span of under 100 years
but
the typical human (and its cohort) is the vehicle through which the universe vicariously has (ever-richer) emotion and related (ever-expansive) consciousness, as we know it

Quantum Mechanics (QM) v. Q4P
It is far from clear where QM ends and where Q4P starts.
And it is far from clear whether there is 1% overlap or 100% overlap (at this point).
And it is far from clear if/how the overlap % has morphed over the eons.
Simply put, we do not know the precise relationship -
and if/how that relationship has morphed.
just one dynamic
Potentialism Theory deploys
just one (hypothesized) dynamic - Q4P -
across the depth and breadth of cosmic history.
Meaning, just this one overarching dynamic-
Quest for Potential∞ -
has driven the universe,
through this day
The initial and partial
hard physics proof
for Potentialism Theory
Lambda ≈ Dark Energy ≈ Cosmological Constant ≈ Q4P, per Summa Theory.
Lambda = salient Q4P∞
Λ
Lambda
the Cosmological Constant
Einstein (1917) hypothesized that there was a dynamic countering gravity's pull on the planets; else the planets would crunch together.
Einstein identified this dynamic as the Cosmological Constant.
The world scientific community would later call this force Lambda.
In reality (per Potentialism Theory) Einstein (1917) had the concept correct, but the seqence/alignment backwards.
The correct seqence/alignment is:
1. Lambda is driving the universe to expand outward;
2. Gravity is putting the brakes on Lambda.
Now, Lambda is salient Q4P,
or in other words
Lambda is Q4P somewhat ‘showing its hand’.
(Elusive) Lambda, in turn, is manifested 'saliently' via Dark Energy.
Lambda, of course, is just the ‘visible’
"tip of the iceberg" of infinite Quest for Potential∞ (Q4P∞).
Thus, while Volume I of my metaphysics series (Summa Metaphysica) proposing Quest for Potential is copyrighted 1986, Einstein discerned Lambda in 1917; he did not realize - and never realized - that he had hit 'the mother lode' (i.e. the 'driver of the Cosmic Order').
For the record,
In 1929,
Einstein (in error) rejected his own Cosmological Constant concept, calling it his 'biggest blunder'. [Actually, he was right the first time (1917).]
In the 1990s,
New studies confirm that the Cosmological Constant is the best fit for Dark Energy, and offers the most precise and accurate estimate yet of its value.
In 2018,
The current standard model of cosmology is known as the Lambda-CDM model .
However, maintream science, in parallel to Einstein (1917), still has the sequence/alignment of the dynamics backwards: See line 4 near top: "In reality...
*
As of Fall 2018, in physical cosmology and astronomy, Dark Energy (≈ Lambda) is considered an unknown form of energy which is hypothesized to permeate all of space, and which is accelerating the expansion of the universe. [Summa / Potentialism Theory, of course, hypothesizes same (1988 →) for Q4P.]
Discerned, Identified, Calculated & Measured
Lambda = salient Q4P∞
Scientifically Discerned
The scientific community &
the inadvertent 100+ year hard science unfolding/discovery
of key components of Potentialism Theory
So, Lambda ≈ Dark Energy ≈ Cosmological Constant ≈ Q4P, per Summa Theory.
Lambda was discerned / identified initially by Einstein in 1917,
but has emerged (by 2018) front & center in astrophysics
via the 'Lambda-CDM Model'
(the standard model of Big Bang cosmology).
Meaning, Q4P∞ is de facto embedded in - and integral-to - the current standard model of cosmology
So,
re: The Cosmological Constant ≈ Lambda ≈ Dark Energy ≈ Q4P, per Summa
1) It was introduced, discerned & calculated (as noted, initially by Einstein, 1917).
2) The best current measurements indicate that Dark Energy
contributes 68.3 percent of the total energy
of the present-day observable universe.
3) Dark Energy's density has been precisely measured
(apparently ~7 x 10-30 g/cm3)
4) It is clearly key in driving the universe forward.
5) The current standard model scientific theory has Lambda literally starting its title
So, scientifically measured on multiple fronts, placed front & center in the standard model title, and generally accepted as driving the universe forward.
Is not Lambda thus direct 1:1 corroboration of a key slice of Potentialism Theory?
Lambda ≈ Dark Energy ≈ Cosmological Constant
is thus the scientifically (measurable /measured) manifestation of Q4P.
Not bad having key components one's (revolutionary) metaphysics/cosmology theory de facto scientifically discerned over a 101 year period (1917 to date).
So, Einstein tripped-over Q4P in 1917, but misread its overarching power and centrality.
And the scientific community at-large has yet to grasp Lambda's full dimensions.
*
The Cosmological Constant's identification (1917) by Einstein (hence, the discovery of a 'physical' manifestation of Summa's Q4P),
is the rough equivalent of Sir Arthur Eddington's (May 29, 1919) solar eclipse proof of Einstein's curvature of space time theory.
Except that, as noted, in Einstein's (Cosmological Constant) case, he radically missed the full import.
*
Psychologically and scientifically, Einstein was fixated on gravity as the central motif of the Cosmic Order; thus, to Einstein, other dynamics - like Lambda - essentially play supporting or reaction roles.
However, from my Potentialism-centric - and hopefully objective - view of the Cosmic Order, whereas gravity (a physical dynamic) is very central in our universe, it is trumped in importance/impact/centrality by overarching Q4P - the overarching metaphysical dynamic of the Cosmic Order.
*
I respectfully believe that Lambda crucially moves the needle on Potentialism - from theory to partially scientifically discerned.
And, indeed, the Lambda-CDM Model is more precisely, the Q4P-CDM Model.
In a twist of fate, Potentialism Theory was partially/inadvertently discerned & partially validated (1917) by scientific great Einstein - before the Potentialism Metaphysics/Cosmology theory was even conceptualized/presented/disseminated (1988 and onwards) by Outsider/Outlier Birnbaum. Rumor has it that I was not even born until 1950. And via scientific advances in understanding the Cosmological Constant ≈ Dark Energy - which is actually Q4P Energy, the academic establishment has advanced our scientific knowledge of Potentialism Theory, and to some partial extent, validated it.
*
Thus, the mainstream academic community may want the interloper (Birnbaum) to stop messing in their turf with his over-the-top theory; but they have unwittingly albeit scientifically - and from multiple angles - given significant scientific evidence and buttress - over a 100-year span - to Summa's avant-garde theory (1988 →).
Put another way, the establishment academic community has radically strengthened Potentialism's position on the metaphysics/cosmology chessboard. With respect, there is no known theory which can successfully challenge Potentialism.
Q4P Hiding in Plain Sight
Lambda = salient Q4P∞
The Misnomer
'Dark Energy'
The correct appellation would be:
Salient Q4P∞ Energy
or
SQE
'Dark Energy' is meaningless in this astrophysics arena;
there is nothing dark about it
'Salient Q4P∞ Energy' ( 'SQE' ) is meaningful - and precise.
The Boss
Lambda = salient Q4P∞
Lambda
an integral part
of the over-arching cosmic dynamic
Einstein and scientists to follow tend to view Lambda as a stand-alone dynamic;
however, Lambda is just a salient portion of overarching Q4P∞;
and that is part of the reason that Einstein et al. have such great difficulty with Lambda.
Q4P∞ reigns supreme
and Lambda is just a salient segment of it.

our 'Smart Universe' driven by our hypothesized natural force (Q4P)
RESOLVES THE PARADOX
Per Universities News (2014)*, Potentialism Theory resolves,
among other issues, the Einstein-Planck paradox.
My Chronology of the Universe exposition [Chronology1000.com],
which is published within Summa Metaphysica IV (2020),
lays out my hypothesized three epochs of the universe:
1) Infinite Potential is positioned front & center in Epoch I;
2) Planck's Quantum Mechanics - which I posit as metaphysical -
is positioned front & center in Epoch II;
3) Our current (post-Big Bang) epoch - Epoch III - is a more complex
Physical-Metaphysical hybrid (see the chronology).
* see www.Einstein1000.com

the last Greek philosopher
"the Greeks"
David.Birnbaum.NY@gmail.com
the Greeks?
How did the (great) Greeks totally miss Q4P∞
Philosophers were looking for an entity, not a force
Furthermore, the 'force' here is actually a 'quest'
And, in any event, philosophers were geared towards parsing the dimensions of classic God, as opposed-to totally replacing classic (dynamic and thoroughly conscious) God with a new paradigm 'something'..... still it is 'curious'
A psychologist in the audience at one of my lectures opined that Q4P∞ did not want to be discovered until now - for whatever combination of reasons it might have - and our psyches were consequently cloaked hitherto (by Q4P∞) on that point
Others conjecture that a certain level of Evolutionary consciousness had to be reached before the theory could be conceptualized - and understood - and then accepted; that, the concept of a metaphysical quest (for an intangible - 'potential') driving the Cosmic Order would have been "a bridge too far" to reach any traction whatsoever hitherto
Conceptual Theorist
Remember, I view myself as a
Conceptual Theorist / Metaphysicist
and not as a
Scientist / Physicist
Simultaneously, however, my theory must dovetail with good science.***
Good science, in turn, would not include the ‘quack pseudo-science’ of the Randomness gang,
nor with their assorted academic and media perversions. .
As noted, Potentialism Theory is proven inductively -
see Inductive1000.com
Another way of saying that is that -
>> No data point known to mankind conflicts with Potentialism Theory <<
(see also Deductive1000.com)
our 'Smart Universe' driven by our hypothesized natural force (Q4P)
*** Of course, by the 2050, the science community may just cite the historic axiom -
>> All science must comport to the governing Metaphysics <<

Brit Peter Atkins
Celebrated British Chemist; Randomnist;
Poster Boy for Hard-Line Atheism
To his credit, (the stellar) Atkins was a full-scale Panelist at the Bard / Summa Conference.
A major component of the Conference were the lunch and dinner meals together - about 16 participants total.
I had read two* of Atkins' major works prior to the Conference in-prep;
however, Atkins was aloof - and hard to draw-out. After frustration at meal #1, I assigned my 19 year-old son to sit directly opposite him (at all the meals) and try to engage, but they 'talked past each other'.
I do not believe Atkins ever 'got' what I was proposing. On the final full day of the Conference I chatted with him, and I offered to debate him - in USA or England at any time; but he did not seem to relish the thought.
Atkins is a Fellow at Oxford - which led us to absolve Oxford from the severe abuse tsunami which would emanate from England. The storm commenced ~90 days after the Conference - and was to span almost two years - across multiple fronts.
I believe only Atkins' quite-high stature in England saved him from vengeance-destruction by his British academic cohorts - for de facto giving his (powerful) imprimatur to the ('heretical') renegade Directional Universe Conference.
I have a separate exhibit in Chronology1000.com (printed in this volume first) - Major Problems in (Establishment) Science - (accurately) articulated by Atkins in his work On Being - but all 'resolved' by Summa;
the 'major problems' were the reason I started my quest in the first place;
thus, hard-line Atheist Atkins had a lot to be concerned about during - and after - the Conference. His high profile / stellar world was being upended - at its roots.
But again, on net balance, kudos to him for his formal participation.

Why do you insist....
"Why do you insist that the universe is not a conscious intelligence,
when it gives birth to conscious intelligence"
- Cicero, c. 44 BCE
*
Remember, Potentialism Theory does not go so far as to say that the universe is a 'conscious intelligence'; rather, that the prime underlying dynamic (Q4P∞) is a hyper-intelligence.
Indeed, per the theory, humans (and the universe) are created, in part, to vicariously secure 'consciousness' for the the underlying dynamic Q4P∞.

POTENTIAL DRIVES THE UNIVERSE
now, back to the 'beginning of the beginning'
Primordial Cosmic Realms*
working hypothesis
1) Potential/Possibility is eternal**
[But what is the catalyst morphing
(seemingly passive) Potential into (pro-active) Quest for Potential (Q4P)?]
2) Primordial (potential/possibility-oriented) Quantum Mechanics (QM)*** and
(eternal) Potential supercharge each other
a) Potential → Quest for Potential∞ (Q4P)
[This 'quest' will have both intentionality and ~instinct intelligence]
b) Primodial QM → Primodial+ QM
3) In due course, Q4P will deploy/harness both (pre-Big Bang primordial)
Quantum Mechanics (QM) and (pre-Big Bang primordial) Classic Physics
- to split 'ZERO' - and ignite our universe via the Big Bang.... the Genesis Point.
***
Creation Ex Nihilo+
So, it would seem that
Creation Ex Nihilo
(Creation from Nothing)
falls, as well, to Summa/Potentialism Theory
So we, indeed, would seem to have a viable metaphysical/scientific ('fusion' again) working hypothesis for one of the iconic Holy Grails of metaphysics//philosophy/cosmology
I might prefer to call the finesse -
.....Creation Ex Nihilo+
because
Potential is more than Nothing
Basically, two potential-related 'somethings' supercharge each other -
Summa's metaphysical Eternal Potential was 'impacted' by the primordial incarnation (specifically, the potential-possibility aspect thereof, of) Planck/Einstein's Quantum Mechanics (QM) - to yield Summa's proposed Prime Mover (primum movens) ............ Q4P
And this Prime Mover can be viewed as either secular or spiritual or Divine (or some variation thereof), depending on one's predilection.

# Be clear that I did not (have the nerve to) mess around with integrating QM whatsoever into Summa/Potentialism Theory until I read Lloyd's ("Programing") book in 2006 - and observed the extraordinary 1:1 parallel to Summa I (1988) and Summa II (2005); however, like a stem cell, QM would seem to have many vibrant 'faces'... and thus, the QM plot thickened... and here we are
# As you are aware, I integrate the Wheeler/Lloyd QM It/Bit build-out into my Summa/Potentialism theory Evolution build-out several years later - in 2014 in Summa III; however, the above Primordial Cosmic Realms QM build-out is new****.
# Be alert that, contrary to point (2) above, there are those who assert that QM does not exist (in any form) pre-Big Bang; respectfully, they are wrong*****; however, even if they are right, point (2) above will then simply need to be tweaked as follows .The potential/possibility of (potential-possibility-oriented) QM jump-started Q4P from Eternal Potential. ******
* before our universe was even created
** As noted, BY DEFINITION....Self-Evident
*** In our deployment of QM in primordial realms we are focusing on the classic 'possibility' aspect of QM;
in our deployment of QM via a' vis Evolution we are focusing on the Wheeler/Lloyd 'bit-build-out
aspect of QM.
**** I had 'radar lock' at post-Yom Kippur Break-Fast Sept 30, 2017 while harassing the (philosophically sharp)
NYU Medical School student next to me - after struggling with the issue for several decades.
As we were going down the NYU Kimmel Building elevator after the buffet, I asked him what he liked best
about the theory. His response: "It would appear to be a viable and quite all-encompassing theory;
and in science the more all-encompassing viable theory prevails."
***** QM needs to be operational pre-Big Bang, because QM is (quite-specifically) needed
to arrange the precise settings for the Big Bang; QM has the tool-kit to do same -
and 100th generation IBM's Watson (c. 3000 CE) was not in the picture yet....
****** As is apparent, this (fallback) version would be weaker than my preferred version (above).

Potentialism Theory = Summa Theory = Birnbaum Theory = Q4P Theory = Quantum Man Theory
David Birnbaum is a philosophical writer, conceptual theorist, historical chronicler and editor.
# universal secular philosophy & Jewish religious philosophy:
Birnbaum is known globally as “the architect of Potentialism Theory” – a unified philosophy/cosmology/metaphysics. The paradigm-challenging theory - presented through three prisms - is delineated in Birnbaum’s 3-volume Summa Metaphysica series (1988, 2005, 2014). See Summa1000.com.
A riposte to Summa Theologica of (St.) Thomas Aquinas, the (original) Birnbaum treatise challenges both the mainstream Western philosophy of Aristotelianism as well as the well propped-up British/atheistic cosmology of Randomness.
The Summa Metaphysica series was the focus of an international academic conference on Science & Religion April 16-19, 2012 at BARD College (see Conference1000.com).
The focus of over 150 reviews and articles, Summa Metaphysica has been an assigned Course Text at over 15 institutions of higher learning globally. The work has been very widely covered globally. (see SummaCoverage.com for 100+ articles on the series as well as the Course Text institutions.
The first volume of the Summa series, God and Evil (KTAV, 1988) is considered by many to be a breakthrough modern day classic in the field of religious philosophy and of theodicy, in particular. See also GodOfPotential.com
# editor, Jewish thought & spirituality:
David Birnbaum is the conceptualizer and Editor-in-Chief of the Mesorah Matrix series on Jewish thought and spirituality. The series spans 10-volumes with 10 respective themes and includes 200+ original pieces from 150+ global Jewish thought leader essayists. See Mesorah1000.com.
# historical chronicler and author:
In the history realm, David Birnbaum is the author/chronicler of the 2-volume The Crucifixion – of the Jews. The 2-volume set (published in 2009) traces a direct trajectory from the Canon Gospels in the First Century to Auschwitz in the Twentieth. In November 2019, ten years after the publication of The Crucifixion, the Church of England / Anglican Communion issued a major document/report "God's Unfailing Word" - which accepted/confirmed many of the key thrusts of the (highly-controversial) Birnbaum frontal challenge to the Church of a decade prior. See Crucifixion1000.com.
The inter-related Birnbam history series is his 7-volume Jews, Church and Civilization. See Civilization1000.com.

Running the Gauntlet ...
The author of a new theory is typically compelled to
'run a gauntlet of toxicity' before the new theory even gets a fair hearing
A sequenced list of toxic gambits deployed by entrenched orthodoxy academic establishments v. dynamic new paradigm theories follows:
First, the theory is politically boxed-out
Second, the theoretician/author is dissed and/or defamed - to undermine the theory
Third, the theory is cavalierly dismissed
Fourth, fake flaws in the theory are manufactured/asserted by the (now increasingly-desperate) Establishment
Fifth, the theory is aggressively politically opposed by the (now panicking) Establishment
Sixth, the (original) theory is challenged as being not so original in any event - by the (now up against the wall) Establishment
Seventh, in league with the Establishment, wannabe players attempt to co-opt original authorship
- extrapolation of saw/maxim

would, as well, be an attack on the core of the Cosmic Order
- aside from the crime of the murder of the individual victim.
And, the human, after all, is the apex production (to date)
of Infinite Quest for Potential.
Transform1000.com
What comes next?
Our premise is that, aside from the broader goal of Complexification enroute to Extraordinariation, Q4P∞ seeks to (vicariously) play out dimensions of Consciousness and Love.
So, following that thrust, no reason to doubt that Q4P∞ will seek to follow-up ongoing on those two thrusts. And, one suspects that ever-expanding Consciousness has priority between the two thrusts.
So, what does ever-expanding Consciousness imply?
I have not truly focused on that question, but I believe that it is a very key question to be addressed by all.
Multiverse?
Are there infinite universes -
per many Darwinian apologists ?
several points -
#1 Any universe requires Potential at its core.
#2 Even with core Potential, the odds of traction are remote.
#3 Even if possible traction, the Cosmos may not wish to
invest/divert/deploy energy
in even one other universe (overlapping in time with our universe).
#4 "Infinite universes theory" aka 'multi-verse theory' is a dubious proposition,
albeit hypothetically possible; basically, the theory appears to be propped-up
to provide 'life support' to on-its-death-bed quack theory 'Randomness Theory' -
primarily after the book Just Six Numbers (by Royal Astronomer Martin Rees, 1999)
dealt a body-blow to the vacuous (Randomness) theory.

What is the Lifespan of Q4P Universe?
# Q4P has eternal origins
[ see the En Sof primordial God of (kabbalist) Luria (b. 1534) ]
[ brought up in Summa 1 (1988) ]
# Q4P endeavors to be eternal going forward
Then, try to integrate the following to understand Q4P:
# The universe is an evolvement of Q4P
# We are all integral to Q4P/Universe
# One can (optionally) posit that Q4P is the God Force
# See (quick) Universe1000.com

# Note the (panentheistic) God of the BESHT

# Seth Lloyd's Programming the Universe (2006)

possibly with Divine spark / drive
# Remember the ALIEN sci fi series
(introduced 1979)
wherein the alien entity
learns, integrates, iterates,
and gets stronger daily
In our case, Q4P, a more benign entity, does same
i.e. We have a unique variation of Process Theology

the universe
- to optimize, among other objectives, perpetual advance.
# Our universe - a potentially perpetual motion force/entity -
endeavors/iterates/morphs/maneuvers
to play-out
its perpetual motion potential
# Thus, the potential - but far from guaranteed - lifespan of our Q4P universe
is infnite
# However, Q4P in its pure form is eternal, regardless
NOTE ON LIFESPAN
The Universe (aka Q4P) is expanding ongoing;
currently this expansion rate is accelerating.
Q4P must vigilantly advance forward
with sufficient (Lambda) velocity/force to
prevail against entropy.
Q4P must contend with gravity, as well,
which simultaneously
enhances, maintains, and threatens the universe.
LIKE
Why does this metaphysics trump all other metaphysics?
1) It is pegged to an eternal dynamic (Potential)
2) It is pegged to a proposed (hitherto undiscerned) natural force (Q4P) -
as opposed-to a supernatural force
or
to a fatally flawed theory (Darwinism)
3) The theory is all-embracing
4) The theory has been (successfully) vetted ongoing since Summa I in 1988
5) The core theme - the Common Denominator of Q4P∞ -
threads its way steadily and inexorably
from Eternal Origins through the Big Bang
through the current day - and onward
6) The theory allows optional space for a potential Divine 'instigator' at the get-go
7) The theory covers the key issues of classic and modern metaphysics:
Eternal Origins; pre-Big Bang realms; the instigation of the Big Bang;
the origin of our super-complex universe;
the eerily fine-tuned myriad Constants;
the origin and 'journey' of the 117+ Elements (to date);
the origin of life; the ascent of evolution;
the Cambrian Explosion;
the expansion of consciousness
8) The theory frontally deals with 'purpose' (across the board), e.g. -
# the purpose of Man (to strive for his Potential)
# the purpose of the universe (to strive for Extrordinariation)
9) The theory provides a fresh - and credible - theory of Evolution
10) The theory helps to clarify Dark Energy and Dark Matter -
and the associated universal constant (lambda)
11) The theory furnishes a SuperLaw to the universe:
Q4P∞ → C+ → E+
- a formula which as been inductively 'proven'
12) The theory is organized, disciplined and charted
13) The theory is creative and original
14) The theory has proven-to-be 'bulletproof'
15) The theory thematically threads consistently through pre and post Big Bang
16) After 5,000+ years of civilization,
there is no bona fide credible challenging theory.
to Potentialism
17) The theory is highly ambitious, but does not overreach
18) One can make the case that this is a serious contender for a
conceptual Theory of Everything
Cosmic Ironies
some counter-Intuitive ironies re: Q4P∞
Q4P∞
is the source of life in our universe,
but is not itself fully alive
Q4P∞
crafted our universe,
but seeks after God - its creator* - vicariously - via ourselves
Q4P∞
is practically all-knowing,
but seeks after human-like consciousness via ourselves
* Q4P∞ quests for full understanding of its 'creator', and assumes -
rightfully or wrongfully - that it has a classic creator.
I believe I have-the-edge
So, I am a solitary conceptual theorist -
with metaphysics as a passion;
It is not my 'day job'
- although I have diligently worked on its conceptualization since age 10 (1950) and then its exposition (starting with Summa I) since1988
- including through my time in Cambridge, MASS - while at Harvard grad school (1972-4);
I have lived and breathed the field for 60+ years.
Arrayed against me in metaphysics/cosmology/philosophy is a 'British Empire'-wide cohort
headquartered in an iconic British university - and peppered throughout many stellar British universities, in particular -
with many mobilized to sideline and undermine me
- at every turn along-the-way
via severe and ongoing ad hominem attacks
and other ongoing subterfuge
I am, however, quite confident that my metaphysics - Potentialism -
will prevail.
Potentialism Theory radically trumps the opposition's (alleged) metaphysics - Randomness - which I respectfully view as vacuous,
and which I respectfully label - a theory of no theory.
# Randomness is, respectfully,
The Emperor's Clothes
- on a grand scale
# Radomness Theory is an echo chamber - on steroids;
# Randomness can readily be confused with a Fundamentalist fanatic religious cult -
fact-free, yet hell-bent on debasing and undermining all 'non-believers'
# Randomness makes ALCHEMY look like hard science;
Respectfully, I have-the-edge on the ultimate chessboard
because I have, respectfully, conceptualized a radically superior metaphysics -
which is substantive, unified, covers-the-bases, and is quite fully vetted.
Potentialism Theory works - on every level,
Randomness Theory does not work on any level.
The opposing cohort, the Random Universe crew -
outguns me at least 100,000 to 1 for sure -
However, it has no authentic cards to play;
- only the toxic cards of character assassination, and related
One can readily make-the-case
that the 'opposition's vocal attack-cadre, in particular, is
intellectually and morally bankrupt
1) the Randomnists still have a modicum of power and status on the academic chessboard -
but no real theory
2) Thus to preserve their status and power, they simply bludgeon any opposing theorists
3) The Randomnists play by academic gangster rules
4) They have perfected the art of debasement and invalidation
5) With no authentic intellectual argument, the group has turned to neo-criminal gambits -
to slander, undermine, debase & defame
The Brits bet that the world is dumb.
*
I bet that the world is smart.
Science is driven by vibrant debate and search-for-truth -
and, indeed, by revolution, as appropriate
- not by a toxic mixture of nihilism and British jingoism
masquerading as science

Summa Metaphysica I
GOD AND EVIL
by DAVID BIRNBAUM
David Birnbaum’s God and Evil is a major philosophical study which systematically confronts the philosophical problem of evil, and the Holocaust in particular...
Summa Metaphysica I: God and Evil: Religious Man (1988) is the first of three books in Birnbaum’s landmark three-volume Summa Metaphysica series crafted over a twenty-six year period...
In Book #1 of the series, Birnbaum introduces the concepts of Quest for Potential∞ (Q4P∞), as well as God of Potential...
According to Birnbaum’s paradigm, Quest for Potential∞ drives Man and God/god and the Cosmos. Potential is the nexus. God of Potential is juxtaposed against Man of Autonomy-Freedom-Potential...
Combining modern and classic, rationalist and mystic themes...
The Summa series reshapes the contours of metaphysics, philosophy, and theology.

Updated focus on the 0-point
So, why is there Evil at all?
I form the light, and create darkness;
I make peace, and create evil; I am the Lord,
Who has made all these things.
- Isaiah 45:5
Evil has its source in the good.
- Augustine
*
At eternal origins, there was just the 0-point.
At some point
Potential split 0 into -
Positives and Negatives,
Pluses and Minuses,
Matter and anti-Matter,
Good and Evil
To ignite a universe,
one must split 0
And if one splits 0,
there will thus of necessity
be Evil
in the mix
*
There would apparently
simply be no way
to create or update the universe
with no Evil in it;
Else, that would have been
The Plan
in the first place
*
Do you insist on No Evil?
Then, No universe.
Do you wish a universe?
Then Evil will
be an actor.
*
The concept of the primordial 0 being split into PLUSES and MINUSES has resonance, whether from esoteric ancient strains, through Summa Metaphysica I (1988), and then through contemporary (21st Century) Quantum Mechanics.
See "IT from BIT" (1990) theoretical physics hypothesis of Princeton’s iconic John Wheeler (1911-2008), and developed via his intellectual heir, MIT's Quantum guru Seth Lloyd. See, in particular, Lloyd's (seminal) Programming the Universe, 2006, Knopf. See in further focus Lloyd's Chapter 3: The Computational Universe (subsection: The Story of the Universe).
*
So, in 2006 Lloyd's quantum mechanics 21st Century physics fortuitously makes an appearance just after Summa Metaphysica II (2005) and Summa Metaphysica I (1988); his work buttress aspects of Potentialsm Theory's metaphysics (theodicy and Eternal Origins components).
*
more theological texture
The midrash (Jewish exegesis, parable and lore)
has the (omnipotent) Divine
weeping over Evil
Thus, a Divine not quite "omnipotent"
and not quite
impervious to Evil & suffering

REPRISE
Quick Overview
The Proposed Working Hypothesis
Potentialism Theory hypothesizes that if we introduce one (conceptualized) metaphysical concept - Quest for Potential∞ - as the eternal 'driver' of the Cosmic Order, then entire inter-related clusters of hitherto unresolved issues across science, religion, metaphysics and philosophy - including (but not limited to) cosmology, cosmogony, theogony, theodicy, teleology and evolutionary biology - are all simultaniously lanced.
The fusion of my Potentialism Theory - with MIT LLoyd's (information communication & computation) quantum mechanics - provides a quite-powerful proposition: A seamless A-Z metaphysics/physics/cosmology. Sort of what many people have been seeking for a long time.
A well-vetted and quite-possibly correct simultaneous solution - a fully integrated,all-embracing metaphysics / new paradigm - is perhaps something worth evaluating. One concept (Quest for Potential∞) resolving conundrums across a dozen+ fields? If essentially on the mark, it would indeed transform the world as we know it.
That is what SummaMetaphysica/Potentialism has proposed - starting with the focus on theodicy in Summa I: God and Evil in 1988.
All data-points vector towards the theory being correct. After 28+ years of public vetting, not a single flaw has been discerned in it. And as we know from 7th grade mathematics, elegant possible simultaneous solutions inevitably have a way of turning out to be correct.
Potentialism proposes that our universe indeed has a direction (Quest for Potential∞). Advocates of an aimless and random universe have been having a public nervous breakdown over the theory since God and Evil (Summa I) was published by KTAV twenty-eight years - and six printings - ago in 1988.
Potentialism Theory is, as well, simple yet powerful (i.e. infinitely nested). And indeed, to add irony to the potentially pivotal theory, its proposed key to the cosmic code - Quest for Potential∞ - has always been 'hiding in plain sight'.
The theory can be viewed through a religious lens (see Summa Metaphysica I: God and Evil); a spiritual lens (see Summa Metaphysica II: God and Good) or a secular lens (see Summa Metaphysica III: The Transcendent Dynamic).
The theory shatters various 'idols' along the way. The world is not flat, nor is the universe random - by any means. The universe may be far more dynamic and fully-integrated than hitherto suspected, to put matters mildly.
Various entrenched 'priesthoods' - whether in academe or otherwise - will diss any truly threatening paradigm - and will fight rearguard battles, sometimes vicious ones, to protect their power prerogatives. But these reactionary efforts against a formidable new paradigm will ultimately fail.
The Random Universe formulation is simply old-fashioned fundamentalist and strident hard-line Atheism masked as science.
The 14th-16th Century Vatican persecuting theorists for propounding helio-centrism, is now replaced by a hard-line Randomnist hierarchy in England (globally) undermining the careers of directional-universe theoreticians.
A zealous religious Inquisition is replaced by a zealous antireligious inquisition;
Bogus Middle Ages Church doctrine is replaced by bogus 21st Century hard-line Random Universe doctrine.
In each case, too much power leading directly to ruinous and implacable hard-line doctrine - and from thence onto destruction of truth and lives.
Ultimately, the most powerful currency prevails in commerce, and the most powerful ideas/concepts prevail in the history of ideas. Thomas S. Kuhn discussed the fierce institutional resistance faced by paradigm challenges. See his 1962 classic, The Structure of Scientific Revolutions.
One can argue that my little Harvard degree is not in philosophy - or one can look at the overwhelming evidence behind the proposition - and 'listen to the music'.
I invite you to examine the hypothesis and expand your minds and your souls.
Sincerely,
David B.

Wrapping-up
https://www.summametaphysica.com/related-commentary/
Has the Entrenched Randomness Clique Strangled Global Debate?
To the Reader
I have worked on this project since age ten (1960), 57 years ago, when I was a 4th grade student at (Modern Orthodox Jewish) Yeshiva Dov Revel of Forest Hills, Queens, NY.
About 1/2 of the parents had emigrated from Europe at some point post-1900, some tattooed with blue numbers on their forearms. Everyone was motivated. Dual-curriculum Dov Revel was the toughest school I ever attended, Harvard-included. Per the school's DNA, established science trumped theology. And, of course, we were exposed to challenge on all fronts.
On the science front, things were hopping in the '50s and '60s in Astronomy, in particular. As you recall, in Spring 1964 Bell Labs researchers in nearby NJ accidentally corroborated the Big Bang via cosmic microwave background radiation, and a new era was de facto ushered in. That vey same Spring 1964, I graduated eighth grade. My little Astronomy hobby morphed into my little Metaphysics hobby.
As you know, the first (volume of the Summa series) work came out 1988, 29 years ago.
I have studied the world and the theory from as many angles as I could during this entire 55+ year duration (1960 - now ). The theory has been exhaustively vetted. At the 3+ day 2012 BARD conference, no vulnerability was discerned in Summa/Potentialism.
I am confident in the theory.
Please be wary of any academic group - however fancy - whose signature m.o. is the de-legitimization and defamation of competing theorists; whose single-minded stratagem is the relentless obfuscation or suppression of debate - at all costs.
This is my chosen modality to break the little stranglehold of that crypto-academic group.
May truth and global advance be the ultimate victors.
VERITAS.
Humbly submitted to my fellow voyagers on life's extraordinary journey.
Onward!

WHO KNEW?
note the terrifying alternate title
'PRESERVATION OF.......
of Darwin's key work
Some posit that the iconic Darwin work served as the
quack-science underpinning for the Third Reich's nefarious and murderous eugenics undertakings.
Note the 'heavily-loaded' terminology (alternate title) -
"PRESERVATION OF FAVOURED RACES IN THE STRUGGLE FOR LIFE".
And note the ominous
resonance with the German Mein Kampf (My Struggle),
Hitler's key work 66 years later.
The time arc from the Liberation of Auschwitz to now is 75 years to the day (Jan 27, 2020); the toxicity emanating from the quack-cohort bowels of Britain is more intense than ever.
So, now we have an additional suspect group (aside from pathological /obsessive British nationalists rooting for hometown favorite Darwin) - for the virulence and magnitude of the vicious anonymous attacks and planted defamations - on theorists not playing ball with Darwinism.
All glory is fleeting
Randomness/Aimlessness (as the key 'cosmic catalyst') is 'done' (debunked).*1 .
The Darwinism version of Evolution is 'done' (debunked).*2 .
The anti-scientific 'infinite random universes'

The 100+ year dark ages brought to you courtesy of the British randomnist cabal will now start to steadily collapse of its own intellectual and moral bankruptcy.

The Stealth Mob
Why does the 'British academic mob'
[ the inter-related
SELF SELECTING -
British jingoists - Darwinists - Randomnists - Hard Line Atheists ]
attack from the shadows?
Because it does not 'have the goods' to attack on the merits.
The mob’s inter-related modalities are -
defamation, bullying, academic blackmail, character assassination
- and the like
A corrupt British cohort
And what do the Brits gain?
The preponderance of the British hi-achiever metaphysics / physics/ cosmology players are vested in Randomness Theory;
meaning, they all vector towards a Non-Directional Universe theme.
THUS, any Directional Universe theory or theorist - is the enemy.
But, the 'mob' is holding a (fatally) weak intellectual hand with its Random (non-directional) Universe British Kool Aid.**
THUS, to preserve its power/glory/status/awards/prerogatives/legacy/sway
it resorts to trashing/invalidating its opponents
- from the shadows
The intent is to suppress/quash free debate -
as free debate would be perilous
From their perspective, best to enjoy a monopoly
until, at least the challenger is sufficiently disingenuously publicly
debased / invalidated / undermined / distorted / de-legitimized
- so as to have de minimus credibility
At all costs, the mob does not want a debate - on the merits
The mob has, indeed, thwarted the advance of global debate and knowledge for well-over a century.
Quite a notorious - and noxious hypocritical feat.
As far as the Brits - and their fancy shills at Cambridge U et al are concerned
THEY WIN - until they are exposed -
and then they LOSE
The nation of Newton -
has now premiered an academic cohort of
neo-criminals
It is, pathetically, the 'swan song' of a once-great empire.
Sold their souls - and sold-out the students of the world
How the Mighty Have Fallen

* Darwin is the stellar grad of Cambridge U - and a superstar in the British pantheon, in particular.
** Yes / Much that goes on in the universe is random, but randomness does not define the universe; the universe is directional - Potential-driven at its core. See Direction1000.com - or a random section of 4-volume Summa Metaphysica, as a start.

Wikipedia and the Mob
For sure, by now Wikipedia knows that the Brit-mob has single-handedly destroyed its global credibility.
So, why has Wiki not moved against them?
'The mob' has subverted both global debate and Wikipedia's credibility ongoing.
All that Wikipedia has built-up since its launch (2001), 'the mob' has put-at-risk.
The culprits are readily identifiable by Wikipedia.
POTENTIAL DRIVES THE UNIVERSE

The Birnbaum Super-Formula (see Super-Formula1000.com) was promulgated explicitly in-depth back in 2005 via Summa II (Summa-2.com). See section Directional Universe.
Ever since the April 2012 Bard Conference (see Conference1000.com), the Randomness cult (centered in England) has vainly been grasping to find some flaw - any flaw, however miniscule - in Potentialism Theory (see Summa1000.com). The Brit-Mob has vainly grasped to find even one exception - even one small factoid in contradiction - to the Super-Formula - over the span of the 14 billion years of known cosmic history.
Then, to the chagrin of the Randomnists, 100+ favorable articles were published in 40+ journals on Potentialism / Summa Theory - building-out nuanced and typically (quite) positive commentary. See Summa-supplement.com.
The Super-Formula was then front & center highlighted in the Huffington Post major piece David Birnbaum Cracks the Cosmic Code June 10, 2015. See HuffPost1000.com.
The formula was then featured as a full-page ad on the back cover of Scientific American - Sept 2017 issue. See TheoryAd1000.com.
Alas, after all the frenetic mind-bending grasping, apparently no flaw or exception has been discerned - on either the macro or micro level - in the theory or its salient, the Super-Formula.
Not one.
Looping-back...
In 1988 Summa I (in-circulation 25,000+ copies - aside from online SummaMetaphysica.com 1988-present) introduced the rudimentary proposition of Quest for Potential.
Princeton's iconic John Wheeler's It from bit would be introduced by him in 1990 (two years after Summa I). MIT maverick Seth Lloyd's Programming the Universe was published in 2006. For context, eighteen years after Summa I and one year after Summa II.
In the meanwhile, since 1988 (the publication date of Summa I) Randomness 'Theory' and its fellow traveler Darwinism Theory - have (unrelated to Summa) independently both taken innumerable significant game-ending (meaning, existential) intellectual/scientific 'torpedo hits' - from across the global academic spectrum. [See YouTube....keyword phrases: Fine Tuned Universe..... Problems and Issues with Darwinism.]
Thus, my no-issue - and apparently No-Flaw Potentialism Theory - would seem to trump fatally-flawed (across multiple fronts) Randomness Theory [aka Theory of No Theory Randomness].

We shall see.
All so Interesting. ;)
‘Beginner’s Luck’ for sure…
And, all-of-the above, with ‘The Brit Mob’ - via its sundry sordid racketeering gambits - in heat to undermine the new theory (Potentialism).
And, as speculated by the 1960s David B,
the solution was, indeed,
hiding in plain sight
all-along.
From all angles, after 33+ years of
aggressive scrutiny and vetting since 1988,
the theory is, so-far, bulletproof;
and does not seem to have a serious challenger.
[ This must be only rumor / for sure - Birnbaum ]
Weaponize
[ the basic m.o. of the Darwinist crew ]
Weaponize -
the iconic British scientific journals
to sideline directional universe theorists
Weaponize -
the many University of Cambridge***
Research Associates
who are also Wiki editors
to then undermine the Wiki pages
of directional universe theorists
Weaponize -
Wikipedia from another direction, as well
a) unilaterally set up a Wikipedia page
re: the young directional universe theorist
b) swarm-attack the page to negatively brand the theorist, hopefully making him
radioactive forevermore
c) parry any positivity which objective observers attempt to place on the WIKI page
d) leave the young theorist
- in shock, disheartened and 'gasping for air'
>>> Essentially, to kill the baby in the cradle
- and, with a quick kill, optimally end forever - the particular threat to Darwinian Theory's hegemony
Weaponize -
the same Research Associates
to harass the testimonial writers (globally)
of directional universe theorists
- and to browbeat, bully & compromise
the Conference organizers & Speakers
of a directional universe theorist Conference
Weaponize -
the ecosystem - including global alumni - of University of Cambridge -
to reward other Univ of Cambridge ecosystem members who play ball
- and to punish any theorists globally who do not
Weaponize -
key British journals
to provide snarky, negative, and convoluted images
of the directional universe theorist
Weaponize -
sundry non-British media platforms
( via the Univ of Cambridge global ecosystem )
in which to so-innocently drop
defamatory misinformation, distortions, and slander
re: the directional universe theorist
- which British journals can then safely reference
- and pile-on
[ And, of course, this way, the British journals
themselves are disingenuously essentially shielded
from tough British slander laws ]
Weaponize -
a portion of the fortune and trusts
of a certain iconic British landed gentry clan
- to fund, as appropriate - and grease-the-wheels
of the nefariousness noted above
All in all,
a full court press
of toxicity
and, in a word, racketeering
