Lorraine Ford Hi Lorraine, and Happy New Year.
The pantheism you mentioned is exactly what I consider in my theory of spherisation: the evolution of the universe through quantum and cosmological spherical volumes. In fact, I consider this God to be omnipotent,an infinite, eternal consciousness,and thus the universe is evolving because this God chose to create a universe composed of matter, energy, and information.
We need a specific mechanism, and it seems you are right in saying that the universe knows itself. This puzzle is complex, and truly understanding the primary information that gives rise to the diversity of atoms and the complexity of this evolution remains difficult. I have thought a great deal about this possible omnipotent God and about why we exist. Ontologically, it is fascinating, and perhaps this God was once alone,thus, we are part of a project of evolution governed by complex mechanisms still beyond our understanding.
Numbers, categories, fields, particles, mathematics, and physics all seem to be organized according to specific partitions. I play guitar and piano, and I think music follows a similar logic: natural scales, harmonic structures, chords, frequencies, and levels. It is as if this God were a musician, playing with spheres and their motions and oscillations.
Just as music emerges from simple ratios and vibrations, cosmic order may arise from fundamental resonances embedded in reality itself.
Each law of physics could be understood as a note in a universal score, interacting to produce complexity.
In this sense, existence is not chaos but a vast symphony in which consciousness slowly learns to hear itself. It is a litte bit a kind of spinoza reasoning abou this god omnipotent , the great musician,so indeed the universe knows itself. Regards
