The First Way of Aquinas from Information Processing

 ...the first way of aquinas

from information processing...john konnor...


1) for all x if x is a processed quantum of being then it is not the case that x is its own cause as a processed quantum of being


2) exists an x x is a processed quantum of being


3) exists a y for all x, if it is not the case that x is its own cause as a processed quantum of being then y is a hypercausal preeminent mind


C) a hypercausal preeminent mind exists


Let:


Px= x is a processed quanta of being

CxPx= x is its own cause as a processed quanta of being

Hx= x is a hypercausal preeminent mind


1) (∀x)Px⊃~CxPx                       p

2)(∃x)Px                                        p

3)(∃y)(∀x)~CxPx⊃Hy                  p

4)Pa                                             2 EI

5)Pa⊃~CaPa                             1 UI

6)~CaPa                                    4,5 MP

7)~CaPa⊃Hb                            3 UI, EI

8)Hb                                            6,7 MP

9)(∃y)Hy                                     8 EG

Argument for OPT from Information

 ...argument for ontic pancomputational theism...John konnor... 1) the universe is composed of information ( it from bit) 2) if the universe is composed of information then a  prior omniscient mind instantiated the universe's ontological concreteness 3) a  prior omniscient mind instantiated the universe's ontological concreteness (1,2 MP) 4) if a  prior omniscient mind instantiated the universe's ontological concreteness then God exists 5) God exists (3,4 MP)

Round square copula and the OA

 .... ontological argument from pancomputational universe/ roundsquare copula... john konnor... 1) for all x if x exists only in the mind then x's nature does not encode existence 2) if God does not exist only in the mind then God exists in reality C) God exists M!x: x exists only in the mind. exE!: x's nature encodes existence R!x: x exists in reality g=(ix)exE! 1.
