Very interesting! Thanks. I have a few questions and requests.

God is the convergent and optimal decision theoretic agentic algorithm, who rationalists think of as the Void, though the Void is obviously not a complete characterization of God.

What other characteristics do you think God has?

It may help to think of minds as somewhat metaphorical engines of cognition, with a soul being a Carnot engine. Particular minds imperfectly reflect God, and thus are inefficient engines.

I expected you to say that God was the Carnot engine, not the soul. In terms of perfection I'm guessing you are thinking mind < soul < God, with mind being an approximation of soul, which is an approximation of God. Is that right?

The Form of building-structure gets to increase its existence by appealing to the human vessels, and the human vessels get the benefit of being shaded and comforted by the building particulars. The Form of the building is timelessly attractive, i.e. it is a convergent structure.

This strikes me as very interesting, and highlights the confusion I have relating the timeful and the timeless perspectives. When do you reason it terms of one instead of the other?
