Theomathy

Everyone has heard of 'Theology'. Some even study that subject in Graduate Schools of Theology.

But how many people know about Theomathy?

Einstein said, "I want to know God's thoughts."

And then (among other things), he wrote down E = mc².

Just as 'Theology' means "the Word of God," we can define 'Theomathy' as 'the Math of God'.

What's missing in traditional Theology is Theomathy.

Oh, it's hinted at in the poetry, parables, and allegories of Theology. You'll find obscure and arcane references to the concept of functions and prescient insights into the characteristics of chaotic (and chaordic) systems. You'll even find elements of Cybernetics (including the Fundamental Theorem of Feedback Control) in ancient scriptural texts.

But if you haven't studied these topics in modern applied mathematics, you are unlikely to recognize the allusions and metaphors buried in poorly translated passages in these ancient texts.

A great deal of what I've studied in modern Systems Theory is present in the arcane texts of ancient literature.

A good deal of the content of this blog touches on the elements of Theomathy.
