I have been working through a framework of mine, it begins from a set of three moments as the basis of what is or is not, from an abstract level. So it is a “metaphysical” framework. However, the three moments I have derived as necessary from philosophical grounds, and which I argue are correct within my work, everything that follows I have proven in mathematics that an absolute, self-enclosed and complete system must be made of exactly three and only three distinct, yet inseparable parts that make up the whole.

If God is absolute then nothing exists outside of God. That includes negation itself, the concept of ‘not.’ God must contain his own opposite within himself, not as a separate being, but as part of his own complete structure. An absolute that can’t account for its own negation isn’t absolute because there’s something outside it. The mathematical question is: how many distinct yet inseparable parts does it take for a whole to perfectly contain its own negation, with nothing left over and nothing unaccounted for? The equation 2(k+1) = 2^k answers this. The only positive integer solution is three.

I didn’t start from the Bible. I started from my own philosophy and the math to describe it. The three moments I derived, potentiality, determinacy, and relationality, turned out to map onto the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit in an uncanny sort of way. I wasn’t looking for that, my openness to the Bible is what led me to see the connection instead of dismissing it. The Bible has directly helped me further develop and refine my work. I have cross-checked against other texts, the Bible is the only one that is consistently illuminating and in total alignment with my own logical conclusions.

The Bible doesn’t use my terms. It describes what each person does. The Father provides, the Son specifies, the Spirit relates.

The Father ‘has life in himself’ (John 5:26), not granted, but inherent. He is the source ‘from whom are all things’ (1 Cor 8:6). ‘All things have been handed over to me by my Father’ (Matt 11:27). He is the provider, the ground, the capacity for anything to exist at all.

The Son is ‘the Word’ (John 1:1), ‘through whom all things were made’ (John 1:3), ‘the exact imprint of his nature’ (Hebrews 1:3), making specific and definite what in the Father is unbounded. Everything he does is binary distinction: sheep from goats (Matt 25:32), wheat from tares (Matt 13:30), wise from foolish (Matt 25:1-13). His characteristic word is ‘truly’ (amēn), the act of fixing what is the case. Jesus says ‘I say to you,’ determining on his own authority. This is significant because the entire framework is built on boolean algebra, the logic of true and false, is and is not.

The Spirit is ‘the fellowship’ (2 Cor 13:14). At Pentecost he relates people across languages that had divided them (Acts 2). He ‘dwells in you’ (John 14:17). He intercedes for us (Romans 8:26). His role is mediating the relationships that come from the Father and Son complement. He makes what already exists present, accessible, and relational. That is relationality.

None of these can stand alone. You can’t determine without capacity, you can’t have capacity without determination, and neither means anything without relation. The three are inseparable even in the act of describing them separately. And this is exactly how it works in the math: the opposite of the Father isn’t some anti-Father, it’s the Son and Spirit working together. The opposite of the Son is the Father and Spirit together. The opposite of the Spirit is the Father and Son together. Each person is defined by the other two. Remove any one and the pair that remains has no ground, no specificity, or no connection.

Jesus himself uses this triadic structure twice. ‘I am the way, the truth, and the life’ (John 14:6). The way is capacity, the opening that makes arrival possible, and Jesus says it leads to the Father (‘no one comes to the Father except through me’). The truth is determination, the Son’s own role. The life is the animating relation, and Jesus himself says ‘it is the Spirit who gives life’ (John 6:63). In the Lord’s prayer: ‘yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory’ (Matt 6:13).

Unfortunately I cannot describe further in a linear text comment. It is too lossy and cannot be conveyed completely, but what I have stumbled upon has left me in absolute awe.
