The Universe is Made of Concepts
The world tends to take the existence of concepts for granted.
All information depends on the existence of concepts. All thought depends on them.
Yet, humanity does not understand what they are or how they work.
This is the single greatest deficiency in science, philosphy, and religion, and is the cause of most of the world's problems.
The general belief is that humans invented concepts, and they only exist within our minds, but this is incorrect.
The only way to explain the existence of the universe is to propose that it is built from concepts, and exists within a mind.
That mind is what we call "God".
There is no other possible hypothesis that is logically coherent and non-paradoxical.
The universe is made of information, and information is made from concepts.
By understanding these building blocks of thought, the true nature of reality can finally be revealed.
Universal Plan Theory
Duality Explained is a shorter, more concise account of Universal Plan theory primarily focussed on explaining the concept of duality, which is the origin concept from which all others derive.
It covers most of the topics included in The Mindlike Machine, but is written in new words, in an attempt to make it more accessible.
Duality is the most important concept that exists, and yet it is woefully misunderstood in the modern age...
There is no school of thought in the modern world that can explain what duality is (except the UP). There is no literature, expert, religion, science, or philosophy which got it right.
I had to think it through myself to discover its true nature, and that process showed me just how far away from the truth modern society actually is.
