Logos: Logical Religion Unleashed
Wouldn’t you want a religion that every logician, mathematician, philosopher, and scientist on earth could embrace, a religion fully consistent with all the points made by Kurt Gödel when he listed the 14 key religious principles he accepted? That religion already exists. It’s called ontological mathematics, predicated on the principle of sufficient reason and Occam’s razor, and constitutes an a priori, rationalist, analytic, deductive religion, metaphysics and physics. Mathematics explains all.
Nobel laureate Paul Dirac said, “God is a mathematician of a very high order and He used advanced mathematics in constructing the universe.”
In fact, God simply is mathematics! God is not a non-mathematical Being who sometimes does mathematics. God is a mathematical Being who does nothing but mathematics, hence IS nothing but mathematics. God is one united mathematical Mind at zero entropy, and countless competing, autonomous mathematical minds at non-zero entropy. It is this capacity of God to be both one and many, united and divided, non-entropic and entropic, cooperative and competitive, that gives our reality the characteristics it has.
Galileo said, “Nature is written in that great book which ever is before our eyes – I mean the universe – but we cannot understand it if we do not first learn the language and grasp the symbols in which it is written. The book is written in mathematical language, and the symbols are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without whose help it is impossible to comprehend a single word of it; without which one wanders in vain through a dark labyrinth.”
Nature is written in the God language of mathematics because God is mathematics.
Bertrand Russell said, “Mathematics takes us still further from what is human, into the region of absolute necessity, to which not only the world, but every possible world, must conform.”
God must conform to mathematics too. Therefore, God is mathematics.
Mathematics transformed alchemy into modern physics, the astounding subject that has revolutionized the mundane world.
But why stop there, with the mundane, the immanent? Mathematics can also do for metaphysics what it did for physics, but that means that it can reach, at last, the transcendent order – of God, the soul, the afterlife, everything affirmed by Gödel but abandoned by the modern world, enslaved by empirical and material science.
Thanks to monads – the basis units of ontological mathematics – but which are also spiritual beings (souls, if you will) – the whole religious and spiritual order is not just speculative, it’s mathematical fact.
It is rationally and logically impossible for mathematical monads not to be the basis of existence. Gödel intuited this, but he was unable to work out the details. Others, however, succeeded.
Religion is true. Thanks to mathematics.
The time has come - for a universal rational and logical Logos religion, which at last gets rid of faith, mysticism, superstition, revelation and Mythos. We don't need priests, prophets, gurus and messiahs. We need geniuses. We need the world's top logicians and rationalists. We need the very best mathematicians, calculating the answer to the Ultimate Question of life, the universe, and everything. The answer isn’t “42”. It is in fact 0. The only other potential answer was "1".

A good insightful read, gave me plenty of motivation to pursue further study of things in Mathematics, and suggested how the achievements of Godel in relation to logic and mathematics were not solely the negative ones of finding an indeterminacy, but can lead to positive consequences by freeing us from the over formalised axiomatic approach to mathematics. What the limitations show is not the limitations of reason, logic or mathematics, but instead of a particular constructivist approach to logic and mathematics that imagined these domains could be built up by pure conventions and rules. It turns out certain aspects of mathematics defy being constructed in such a human dependent way, which lends support for the idea that mathematics deals with reality, not just with tautological human conventional creations.
This mathematical realism, as I like to think of it, is a good position from which to view mathematics in order to appreciate it more. The authors own interpretation of this is in line with what he calls the view of ontological mathematics. This position incorporates the generalised Euler formula and fourier transforms to argue that all of reality is fundamentally composed of sinusoidal waves that can be represented with those mathematical concepts. He does not go into any of the mathematical details in this book, regarding how this is done, but I expect other books in the series cover that topic more. For now, I withhold judgment on that front one way or the other. Only to say that it is quite dogmatically stated many times repeatedly as being the answer in this book, which is my only significant gripe with this book. He is arguing for ontological mathematics as the one true religion representing reality.
Now, as much as I have certainly been persuaded to take mathematics more serious in comparison to physics, and to not be disheartened now by the incompleteness theorems of Godel, as these can lend support for the idea of mathematical realism preceding humanity, and pointing to something real and independent, which is how I had always intuitively felt mathematics applied, I have only from all this come to the view of mathematical realism, rather than full ontological mathematics.
Full ontological mathematics entails his view that the principle of sufficient reason can be used to solve all mathematical problems, but given there are still unsolved mathematical problems such as the twin prime problem and many others, this claim cannot be made unless things of this kind have been proven, or at least a way is shown in which in principle they could be proven. Until then, I see a deeper reality to mathematics, and am confirmed in that view from this book. But, whether our reason is able to fully comprehend that real mathematics is still an open question. My own feeling, is that the real and the rational always have some gap between them, and as much as we must continue to draw upon our reason and make progress in understanding reality as best as we can, we can never close the circle, or square the circle, to use a mathematical term.

Don't Shy Away From Logos
This book provides an introduction to Logos: The logical religion. This logical religion is Illuminism and it would be irrational for two logical religions to exist, hence why only Illuminism can serve as the true religion.
The author discusses a variety of topics but all are based on the fundamental nature of reality which is mathematical. Mathematics in Illuminism is not abstract mathematics the way we have been taught at schools but a living ontological language. We ourselves are mathematical systems - frequency domains - monads.
The author also dedicates a part of the book to discuss the notion of Free-Will and Determinism both from Ontological Mathematical perspective and how it is being renounced ridiculously by the Scientific establishment.
