The idea of linearity is that time and other dimensional characteristics are all changing in one direction only. One coordinate can be accelerated, another slows.
We humans living in the narrow band (the Middle Range) between micro-states (quantum mechanics) and macro states (the universe as a hole unit) think we can control the direction of dimensional change which is what has injected so much confusion into pre-nlc theories.
Hey, you say, I can go forward or backwards in this Middle Range therefore I'm in control. Control of what? NLC answers. Your individual particles were set in motion and you don't have the ability to slow down enough to reach a zero motion state given the acceleration of all the different aspects of the universe in terms of movement and even if you were successful, NLC predicts you only reach the spinning state, but if you succeeded past that you'd only achieve non-linearity which is the state you began at.
One directional coordinate change of both dimension and time shows all non-NLC theories to be so much bunk.
While there is plenty of room for god like concepts in NLC and defining the singularity involves some pretty god like stuff going on, our Middle Range religions come down mostly as bunk in NLC, since none of us has true self determination, our "gods messengers or gods come down to earth" wouldn't have true god qualities unless they somehow had the ability to come into linearity from non-linearity and then return. Otherwise, they'd have no more self determination than we have. Even the god of concentrated intelligence possible in NLC is a god stuck in pre-determination and not some other type of god. The idea of going back and forth into and out of the singularity has its own set of problems. One is that such a god would have to be part of the singularity or would have to alter the singularity. This is intriguing because this would be just the sort of god people look for. One that is all powerful but only comes in and "tricks out" the singularity, tweaking it to some purpose. To say that this type of god "wants us to have faith", however is nonsense, because the second it came into the singularity and "tweaked it" the outcomes would all be pre-set and we'd have no more self determination to believe or not than we did before the tweak. It would be the equivalent of a movie maker inserting a scene into a movie. While the scene would remain (for eternity or until it was removed) it wouldn't change the other scenes.
And yet, without any ability to control our actions, we still seek war preferentially over everything else.
One has to decide how much we can stand of the world at war. We have become a nation which finances war, world war. We finance it with debt which is a losing proposition, but for those of you who don't like our approach, you can always study chinese instead of reading this blog.
Our technology makes us an easy target. Our willingness to work with terrorists, to live with them, to accept their way of life makes us more vulnerable than we'd otherwise be. We'll get to this shortly.
For whatever reason, all the Zoroastrian spin offs (Judaism, Christianity and Muslim) seem bound and determined to bring about the end of time ahead of schedule.
Judaism is exceptional because long ago it shift from acquisition of members to maintenance of a different standard, maintaining beliefs of the old testament, one of the great examples of plagiarism in the world both for the lack of recognition of the precursor works and the way that it was put together, a bunch of story tellers got together and put all the stories in one place, then it was organized around a general concept. The other to Zoro spin offs found a god-head, an earthly king under whom (whether alive or dead) the followers had to serve and set out to accumulate members, and, to ensure success, to kill the infidels (i.e. whoever didn't believe whatever malarkey they were putting out at the time).
Technically both Christianity and Muslim are spin offs more directly from Judaism (clearly they technically are) which raises the question of why everyone always seems to want to kill all the Jews, the secondary birth religion which was largely organized by the Persians and Greeks for historical reasons (those two groups can be said to be the enablers of religious plagiarism).
Christianity and Muslims want to wipe each other out, but the reason can boil down to the fact that the world is not big enough for two gods come to earth in human form. Kings seem destined to look for other Kings to go to war with. It is difficult for me to imagine why anyone would want a world under a tyrant king and both of these kings have been tyrants at one time or another. The fact that the Muslim religion is built around the word for submission, Islam doesn't necessarily mean it is more oppressive than the Christian religion has been and perhaps will be in the future, but it's a very honest position. We have rules in Islam, so it can be said, submit to them. It specifically says its defined purpose is to overthrow all other religions and therefore is honest in mission if not in its origins or other signs of legitimacy.
Zoro (for short) had beliefs which were wholly adopted by the three spin off religions, but inadvertently left off the concept of dominance by violence which is a survival trait of religion just as it is for national governments. Some Zoro concepts are not wholly inconsistent with NLC. NLC isn't a religion based theory, but it does include a specific time limit for the universe (based on how much information is available as well as compression); like any complete physics theory (even though it is incomplete) NLC believes in predestination; it allows (although it is very unlikely) for visions of past, present and future in an individual (a consciousness deriving from the centralization of information in a singularity where everything happens at once (a la Einstein); and there are several places where a god can fit into it. The most "religious" version being the creator of the singularity and the most physics related being a force driven by the concentration of intelligence in the singularity. Where NLC and Zoro probably part ways has to do with individual choice. Yes, the suicide bombers decide to kill but they're working off physics on a fundamental level and true randomness doesn't exist. In other words, NLC requires an explanation other than blind faith in why things happen. If there really were a god, e.g. the god that made the singularity, then he already determined what we'd do. It isn't the uncaring god of Lucretius, its a god who already knows what's going to happen and if he cares, it's no different from you caring when you watch a movie you've already seen before.
Zoro religions don't see it this way. They believe in self determination and that we have to use that in order to do bad things to people who don't believe the same fairy tails (or truths if you must).
Why Zoroastrian religions are driven to wipe each other out is a type of social darwinism. Each of the core Zoro spin-offs has developed at one time or another the goal of destroying all the others as an act of self preservation or it has died out (like Judaism to some extent and Zoroastrianism to a larger extent). This differentiates them from Zoroastrianism which mostly died because it wasn't violent enough. Christianity as the most powerful, began to lose its power as it moved from a religion of domination and exclusion to a religion of tolerance. It might be argued that Judaism stayed too close to Zoroastrianism and doesn't have the central figure to rally around which seems to be the major transitional step taken by Christianity and the Muslim religion. In a wonderfully Darwinian mirror of life, Muslims, largely relegated to the backwater, became more fundamental, more logically resistant strains were developed as Christianity largely weakened and started to mutate around more scientific and humanitarian beliefs.
Worse still, the fundamentaist Christian and Muslim religion is rooted at the least sophisticated level and, in fact, destroys sophistication in order to maintain itself in the fundamentalist framework, kill everyone else form. Christianity does this with laws and these laws are weak because it is tollerant enough to allow the enforcement to be balanced.
There is some of this in the other Zoro religions, but the most fundamentalist Muslims have taken this intolerance of ideas to an art that, while mirrored in other fundamentalist Zoro spin offs, is much less scientific. Chopping off the heads of disbelievers, carrying out terror attacks against anyone who mocks your religion, setting up bright lines where dissent is impossible without punishment is a most totalitarian approach and given sufficient stupidity and concentration of power can be effective. The only good thing about this approach is that it so rejects the scientific approach that it can only survive against technologically equivalent societies by being hypocritical which, unfortunately, it embraces in the name of self preservation.
The current solution is very much crusades. They are put in terms of police actions which limits their effectiveness. If a Zoro spin off (or just logic) were set up to put an end to contrary ideas (and all the Zoro religions have the same basic tenants and beliefs with minor differences that are expanded outside of their realm with ritual-dress, food, practices, worship, beheadings, sexual practices, etc) it would still be functioning at a quantum level based on scientifically determinable equations and this means that at the very least we know the outcome, it is predetermined, it is either the illusion of linearity or non-linear, take your pick. Either way, NLC is right, everything else isn't.
