That’s fine when you're studying combustion engines or bacterial infections. But it’s not a philosophy of truth—it’s a restriction. MN says, “Even if supernatural causes exist, we will act as though they don’t.” That may help in a chemistry lab. It collapses entirely when asking where laws of logic, morality, or the universe itself come from. Using MN to study metaphysics is like using a metal detector to search for love—it simply can’t detect what it refuses to consider. 2. It Silently Smuggles in Metaphysics Naturalistic science pretends to be neutral. It’s not. It assumes that only material causes are valid. But that’s not a scientific conclusion—it’s a metaphysical stance. Ask: What test confirmed that only physical things exist? None. It’s a belief baked into the method, not a discove...
Prologue: The Architect Beyond Time Before anything exists—before matter, law, or even sequence—the Architect knows. Not guesses. Not predicts. He knows all possible states of every agent, all consequences of every choice, and every logically coherent path through time’s unfolding. This isn’t static foreknowledge. It’s relational omniscience : the Architect knows every being not merely as data, but as a story—a potential history traced through every decision they could make. Act 1: A Realm of Agency With omniscient foresight, the Architect designs a realm—procedurally bounded, yet agentically free. He defines: A space of potential information states A logic field that filters coherence A manifested reality But here’s the paradox He embraces: real agents who choose freely—even though He already knows they will choose to rebel. He does not restrain their will. He restrains the world around them—ensuring that only logically consistent trajectories instantiate. Their choices ...
