Working Paper Intro

An Introduction to Theophysics

An axiomatic method for cross-domain synthesis, written for normal people first and specialists second.

Author: David Lowe Status: Draft Category: Theophysics General

Core Question

Can foundational theological claims be formalized in mathematical language?

This question does not fit one discipline. So the method had to be cross-domain by design, with strict rules for coherence, causality, and falsification.

This is not a credential argument. It is a method argument. If the method is sound, the framework should be coherent, testable, and falsifiable.

The Six Generating Axioms

Axiom 1: Truth often appears in recurring structures across domains, not just inside one silo.

Axiom 2: Information theory acts as a universal translation layer between theology and physics.

Axiom 3: New structures require precise new language, or they get misread as old models.

Axiom 4: Correlation is not enough. A valid framework must explain mechanism.

Axiom 5: Complexity without explanatory gain gets rejected.

Axiom 6: Continue until contradictions are resolved or exposed.

The Master Equation

χ = ∭(G·M·E·S·T·K·R·Q·F·C) dxdydt

Plain reading: coherence is a coupled system, not isolated parts. If one major term degrades, whole-system behavior shifts.

Working Variable Set

Symbol	Meaning
G	Grace (restorative input)
M	Moral weight / order
E	Entropy
S	Spiritual state signal
T	Temporal / kairos weighting
K	Knowledge / information fidelity
R	Relational coupling
Q	Quantum-choice channel
F	Faith-as-coherence commitment
C	Consciousness / Christic alignment

The Spirit Lagrangian (Lowe Coherence Lagrangian)

LLC = χ(t)·(d/dt ΣX)² - S·χ(t)

ΣX = G + M + E + S + T + K + R + Q + F + C

Interpretation: the first term is coherence work (change has cost), and the second term is entropy penalty (disorder subtracts stability).

This is the revolutionary claim: spiritual and moral disorder are modeled as dynamical penalties in the same action framework used for formal system behavior.

Framework Claims

A unified Master Equation for cross-domain coherence.
A Spirit Lagrangian for dynamic behavior and stability tracking.
A symmetric law architecture and moral-conservation layer.
Explicit falsification paths, not protected claims.

Appendix: Full Working Math Outline

A1. State Vector

X(t) = [G, M, E, S, T, K, R, Q, F, C]^T

A2. Integrated Coherence Scalar

χ = ∭ Π_i X_i dxdydt

A3. Reduced Sum Channel

ΣX = G + M + E + S + T + K + R + Q + F + C

A4. Spirit Lagrangian

LLC(X, Ẋ, t) = χ(t)·(d/dt ΣX)² - S·χ(t)

A5. Action Functional

A = ∫ LLC dt

A6. Stationarity Condition (Component Form)

d/dt(∂LLC/∂Ẋ_i) - ∂LLC/∂X_i = 0

A7. Stability Reading

Higher entropy term S increases system penalty.
Stable trajectories require compensating coherence work.
Failure propagates across coupled channels, not isolated channels.

A8. Falsification Targets

No measurable coherence effects under predicted conditions.
A rival model explains more with fewer assumptions.
Internal contradiction between equation layer and empirical layer.
