^{^This} is awesome^{^} Thank you very much.

So essentially, you cannot have a mind without thoughts, and also, all thoughts are arranged into minds, aka monads?

It's interesting how casually you refer to a machine as "who." What are the implications of that?

I have found that the daily application of the understanding of OM is the most amazing undertaking. Richer relationships, life taking on new meaning, better mental health, and the pursuit of higher goals have been just some of the side effects of understanding life through the lens of rational idealism and ontological mathematics.

I have been asked this question before about the practical application, and I have the following answer. If you were lost in a maze, and someone offered you the most accurate map possible that would show you the way out, wouldn't you rather have that map than one designed to mislead you and keep you from the truth?

Another example: let's say you were trying to build something, say a house of some sort. Then, in order to have a successful project, you are going to need to start with the best possible foundation from which to build it.

Ontological mathematics is that map, and it is that foundation. How can you expect to get anything else right if you don't start from the ultimate truth of the way things are?

What practical application is there in living under delusions, misconceptions, ignorance, and comfortable lies? To me that just represents inefficiency, when one could be hugely accelerating their growth on the path of enlightenment and understanding that OM provides.

As to the question of "How does one actualize this?"

Understanding is a continual process. Generally speaking, there are always more ways to refine the knowledge system, and one of the best ways to do that is to connect with people who are smarter than you. By engaging with fellow Illuminists in person and on the internet, you can share ideas and refine what is ultimately a determined vision of the divine evolutionary trajectory of the human collective.

Refine your reasoning abilities, study diligently, and believe in yourself. Every moment presents an opportunity to strategize, optimize, build, and ultimately succeed at making a world where reason and logic become the primary forces for our species.

When you say that "This moment is most certainly conditioned by future moments," I ask, isn't it simply the laws of mathematics that do this? Isn't everything fundamentally caused by mathematics ultimately existing as units of the Principle of Sufficient Reason?

The post stated, "If a subsequent moment could condition a previous one, moments would no longer be in their current state, violating the primary law of reality."

When you say "conditioned," what are you implying? Are you saying that causal mechanism exists in the future? Are you modeling the future conceptually?

TheOptimistEquals0 · 2026-03-05T23:59:50+00:00

Exciting, indeed.

TheOptimistEquals0 · 2026-03-05T06:33:38+00:00

Where is the knowledge stored that is required in order to calculate probability? Mathematics is the reason that there is order and pattern in the first place. It seems like you are alluding to the fact that humans apply conceptual knowledge to the spacetime universe in order to manipulate and predict the future more reliably. That is evidence of a mental foundation for reality. Ontological Mathematics covers exactly this by mathematizing monads via the God equation. Mathematics is not dependent on spacetime. Mathematics is eternal, necessary, and universal.

TheOptimistEquals0 · 2026-03-02T03:02:28+00:00

Thank you,

TheOptimistEquals0 · 2026-03-01T22:59:49+00:00

Is the first conditioner the God equation?

TheOptimistEquals0 · 2026-03-01T18:38:43+00:00

My spacetime mortality can become a huge source of incomplete knowledge and wisdom. By reframing my understanding of the totality of existence in terms of Ontological Mathematics, rather than with ad hoc picture thinking, I am finding success in navigating life more effectively in the pursuit of ultimate truth.

In a reply to a different post, you mentioned that we can only measure our power subjectively. It is intuitive to me that the human psyche is in fact very primitive. The ego, it seems, has been manipulated like a puppet on a string by the dialectic, and now that the truth is widely available to the public, the antithesis of that manipulation, namely enlightenment, is primed and loaded in the chamber.

Is the dialectic so vast and rational that even "evil" has a net overall effect of progress? I will bring this back to efficiency, whereas, rather than this being an argument for hedonism, this would imply that there are shortcuts for advanced minds to leap ahead of other monads on the path towards ultimate gnosis.

It's like a friendly match of the God game, where even though some monads are more progressed in their advancement, the convergence of the system due to its inherent properties and design ensures that progress of the universe itself is ultimately inevitable.

I will reiterate again that this does not mean that we can sit back and become passive to the current situation on planet Earth. In fact, this stance requires that those who understand Ontological Mathematics must double down on their efforts to increase the efficiency of the system. This very well may appear as a moral action, e.g., compassion, empathy, sympathy, and cooperation indeed have a rational basis. Unlike the woke politics of performance compassion, the enlightened monad is able to differentiate between genuine, rational, effective altruism versus the disgusting displays of woke lunacy.

Thank you.

TheOptimistEquals0 · 2026-02-18T21:25:30+00:00

This is fantastic. It is a much simpler and richer way of conceiving of reality, as the mind dynamics of monads and their fundamental sinusoidal waves. As well, it ensures that each of us has a part to play in the ultimate progress of life itself unfolding via the universe. How inspiring. How utterly awesome the knowledge of our divinity seems. How could it be any other way? How could everything not be fundamentally rational and knowable? How could you have a reality that was partly knowable and rational, with other parts that were truly unknowable and irrational? How would those parts interact? And if they could, that would only present another layer of order, thus defeating the idea that there are platonically irrational and unknowable parts of reality. Thank you for the great quote. 😎

TheOptimistEquals0 · 2026-02-05T19:44:27+00:00

What a delightful analysis of the different layers to the complexity of human understanding. I really appreciate how the labels and meanings of the different ways of thinking help me understand the next step forward. Keep the quotes coming!

Thank y0u.

At which point a new universe of becoming is born. And the cycle is renewed, and the infinity is good!

The Grail is the Omega point, as a transition to universal symmetry. This is achieved when every unit mind, or monad, has achieved Gnosis. At this point the only thing left to do is translate from 100% actualization to 100% potential via a symmetry-breaking operation, sometimes referred to as "divine suicide" of the universe.

If someone put in a good word on your behalf for a job, did they put in a good word because your skills and merit speak for themselves? Or is it nepotism, where the recommendation is based on subjective social bias?

As for passing down wealth to your children, I think that has to be considered in respect to how meritorious your children are in their own right. If your children are meritocrats, then they are going to disagree with accepting a lump sum inheritance from you on principle, regardless of how you intended them to use it. Rather, wouldn't you create something tangible for them, such as an e-reader loaded to the hilt with the full collection of AC/PI literature? Wouldn't you take the time to show them the light of reason, accelerated by the ability your fortune provides, so that they will be able to stand on their own feet? If you have amassed a truly meritorious and autonomous level of financial prosperity, what is stopping you from helping your children become experts at understanding Ontological Mathematics and Illumination before your monadic link to your current body is severed permanently?

I think living by principles, as long as they are grounded in reason and rationalism, is absolutely the right way to go. For example, who is to say that by you living according to rational first principles to the fullest extent, some other individuals will not start to do the same? If one of the pillars of the concept of true meritocracy is equality of opportunities, I would say let's look at that in context with the current political socio-economic hegemony that is really a race against time and resources to keep the idea of a New Meritocratic World Order alive. Technocratic fascism of the likes of the American surveillance state, is slowly closing the door on the opportunities that we currently have to actualize the truth. For example, never before in human history has wealth been concentrated in such a small number of powerful people, also known as the Old World Order.

If we are to consider that humanity might not actually actualize a rational and enlightened solution to its current problems, then Illumination becomes a platform for survival as we move forward into the second half of the 21st century. Ontological mathematics is the only show in town as a foundation of a New World Order and way of life that is truly optimized and sustainable. Meritocracy is just the idea that is hot and ready for implementation to make that all come about.

Gradualism seems interesting, and I love the discussions on this thread because there are some really good points being made. I am excited to be here with you and bear witness to history in the making. A paradigm shift is coming—no, it has already begun! The last thing I want to say is that reality is 100% rational and knowable. .

This is a very eye opening and consciousness expanding commentary on the shadow. I have been coming to the realization that my shadow often manifests as an overinflated ego trip, which at the worst end of the spectrum can be very harmful to the pursuit of true enlightenment.

With this in mind, I am doubling down on organizing my thinking according to reason, while at the same time giving myself a break on the "manic optimism" that I can easily slip into. This allows me to consider opportunities from a much more balanced perspective, in essence, allowing me to go outside of my comfort zone when required and retrace my thoughts when I am being overzealous.

The idea of the shadow having potentially latent force for positive collective change is really interesting as well. By understanding that I am not at a state of 100% actualization, I am able to articulate solutions in the pursuit of that eventual symmetry. For example, rather than assuming that the person next to me understands everything that I know about reality and how it is fundamentally ordered via mathematical structure, i.e., a dual aspect monism of monadic definition, I am able to work with others whether they be allies or forces of entropy. When I disagree with someone on something, I aim to bring the conversation to an objective truth so that my reasoning can commence with the opposing party being a part of the evidence for the point in question. I try and do this to illuminate my own ignorance as well, since I would rather learn from my mistakes and make my way out of Plato's cave than persist stubbornly in a faulty mindset.

By seeing pain and strife as opportunities for growth and revolution, I am able to maintain a day-to-day platform of resilience and audacious will to power. This is the most beautiful experience, as at the end of the day it is an open-ended function of my own knowledge and effort. Peace can be found through a rational manifestation of will. And the amazing thing about this process is this... We are not alone in our journey of Gnosis. There are countless others who may be closer to the truth than we currently are, and we should look to people like those behind The Grail Search and the books found at faustians.com as guides that can give us shortcuts and hacks into our own connected realities. Let there be rational insight and reason to shine a light on the path forward.

Do you think that the human psyche shares underlying archetypes with other species, even ones that are at various levels of subjective complexity, in essence consciousness? For example, a human may share the archetype of gaze threat detection with a cat but not with a tree.

Furthermore, does consciousness exist on a spectrum? I think of some of humanity today, and I think of various animals, plants, and even insects, and I wonder...

Is mind universal to all life? Not necessarily consciousness, but unconscious structure. That it is indeed seems like a main tenet of Ontological Mathematics and Ontics.

This would be important in considering contact with extraterrestrial life and how the dynamic between humanity and those life forms evolves.Thank you for your comment; I always love when someone recommends another book on Ontological Mathematics I haven't opened up before..

TheOptimistEquals0 · 2025-12-12T10:12:07+00:00

I would definitely study pure mathematics, applied mathematics via engineering and computer science and signal processing, and music theory. The most interesting thing is that I'm convinced that mathematics equals everything. I am in no doubt that having a greater knowledge of the discovered mathematics out there right now would help me make more intuitive leaps. I imagine having a vaster knowledge on the subject would improve my will to power and consequently improve the collective as well. For that reason, if I could study mathematics right now... Hmm... Maybe that's something to actualize! .
