Pantheism updated

   Pan-theism versus Heno-theism Mono-theism versus selected monotheism  | 
 
| 
   Pan1  | 
  
   Heno2,3  | 
  
   1.      Pan
  means: all, i.e. general,
  universal, unselected, common to all. To wit, All is GOD. 2.      Heno means: some, i.e. limited, selected (i.e. chosen), common
  to some. To wit: Some is (my) God. 3.      The New Oxford Dictionary defines henotheism as: adherence to one particular god (i.e.
  like Jehova, Vishnu, Ganesh)
  out of several especially by a family, tribe or other group (like a nation,
  army and so on).  | 
 
| 
   Monist1  | 
  
   Dualist " Pluralist2  | 
  
   1.      One basic operating system (i.e. creation/emergence platform) that
  self-differentiates as ALL (i.e. all worlds/emergents
  as alternative applications of one procedure). Monism emerges as the adult
  understanding of survival procedure (i.e. rule or algorithm). 2.      Two " n basic operating systems (i.e. creation/emergence platforms) that
  generate 2 " n emergents. Pluralism " dualism emerge as the infantile " adolescent view of survival procedure.   | 
 
| 
   Theism1,2  | 
  
   Theism3,4  | 
  
   1. Belief in One emergence (formerly called creation) procedure common (i.e. basic) to all. 2. Pantheists believe that their GOD operates as basic emergence procedure identical with its unlimited number of outcomes (or applications). In short, no identifiable realities exist apart from GOD. 3. Belief in One emergence (formerly called creation) procedure common to some (i.e. to a defined, limited selection). 4. Some heno-theisms claim that their God operates apart from the emergents that result from the emergence procedure. Others claim their God operates within the emergents of their selected emergence procedure.  | 
 
| 
   The
  (pan-) Theist’s GOD: (the) one procedure1
  that enables emergence of all identifiable realities.  | 
  
   The
  (heno-) Theist’s God:2 a (i.e. one) selected procedure that enables
  the emergence of one selected identifiable reality.   | 
  
   1.     
  A procedure is here understood as a
  limited series of discrete (i.e. digitised) momentary constraints (or rules)
  (hence an algorithm) rather than as the formerly proposed (in the thought
  experiments of the ancient Indians, Spinoza et al) continuous (hence
  constant) substance.  2.     
  For example, the Christian God/Father or
  God/Spirit/Son, Allah, Vishnu, Ganesh, Ahura Mazda
  and so on.  | 
 
| 
   A
  (any)1  | 
  
   This2  | 
  
   1.      Unselected (open) 2.      Selected (closed)  | 
 
| 
   Nature1  | 
  
   Culture2,3  | 
  
   1.      Born, emerging from a (previous) procedure
  (complex). 2.      An adaptation to the born, i.e. nature tweaked to
  increase survival capacity. 3.      Example: a sand castle (i.e. heno) built on a sandy (i.e. pan) beach; or; a more attractive haircut.  | 
 
| 
   Basic
  survival procedure1  | 
  
   Specialist survival procedure2  | 
  
   1.      The basic operating system of emergence of
  identifiable reality common to all. 2.      A selected, i.e. specialised (thus artificial = cultural)
  emergence of identifiable reality procedure (i.e. platform) promising
  increased survival capacity (to some).  |

   Good1  | 
  
   Good2  | 
  
   1.     
  Recursive
  iteration of (hence compliance with) the basic
  emergence (thus survival) procedure. 2.     
  Recursive iteration
  (hence compliance with) a selected (hence
  specialised) emergence (thus survival) procedure.   | 
 
| 
   Bad1  | 
  
   Bad2  | 
  
   1.      Incompletion of the basic procedure 2.      Incompletion of the selected procedure.  | 
 
| 
   Discontinuous1  | 
  
   Continuous2  | 
  
   1.      The pantheist’s GOD
  (i.e. emergence procedure) happens discontinuously, i.e. it proceeds
  discretely, i.e. step by step, moment to moment. Her GOD
  is impermanent, albeit seemingly endlessly recurring. Hence the outcome of
  both the identity and reality of the pantheist’s GOD
  procedure emerge as discrete, i.e. as digitised or quantised. She believes
  that only discretely differential is
  (i.e. realness) moments happen.  2.      The henotheist experiences identity and reality as
  continuous. He believes in permanent (and infinite) being (i.e. reality), i.e. infinite
  existence. The henotheist’s God is
  permanent, ubiquitous, infinite.  | 
 
| 
   Self1  | 
  
   Other2  | 
  
   1.      Autonomous 2.      Heteronomous, i.e. not self.  | 
 
| 
   Immanent1  | 
  
   Transcendent2  | 
  
   1.      Self-making 2.      Made by an ‘other’.  | 
 
| 
   Reactive1  | 
  
   Pro-Active2  | 
  
   1.      Responds to, i.e. constrains turbulence. 2.      Deliberately constrains turbulence.  | 
 
| 
   GOD1 as general predator2  | 
  
   God as
  specialist predator3  | 
  
   1.      For GOD (and God) read: the (any, every) procedure that
  emerges identifiable reality. 2.      The pantheist’s identifiable
  reality emergence procedure, i.e. her GOD,
  is driven, i.e. powered by energy (i.e. random momentum). Her GOD procedure operates as thermo-dynamic energy
  packet which, because dissipative, requires re-energising in order to
  survive. The pantheist predates naturally,
  meaning non-selectively, one-on-one. 3.      The henotheist’s God predates
  culturally, meaning selectively and/or many-on-one.  |
