Reality as Change and Centralization

WORK IN PROGRESS.


Reality obeys a single, inexorable law—not stability, not becoming, but decay. The universe is not a machine nor an organism, but a corpse: the self-dissolving remains of a God who chose non-existence over the agony of being. More precisely, it is defined by the perpetual movement from decentralization to centralization, a process scientifically known as entropy. This principle manifests not only in the grand scale of the cosmos but also in every facet of human civilization. Over time, knowledge and social structures become increasingly specialized and centralized, mirroring the universe’s inevitable drift toward uniformity. The ultimate destination of this process is the cessation of individuation, for all existence tends toward annihilation. Non-being is not merely an end but a preferable state—a release from the ceaseless churn of entropy.


The universe is God’s decaying corpse—a divine attempt to dissolve into nothingness through gradual self-annihilation. Yet this very effort ensures that the cosmos will eventually collapse back into absolute centralization, reuniting with the singularity of God. Consciousness is a paradoxical force: it is the "flashlight" that allows beings to perceive and resist entropy, while rationality is the faculty that recognizes its inevitability. Conscious entities instinctively crave decentralization—freedom, differentiation, complexity—yet they are inexorably pulled toward centralization. The tension between this desire and reality generates dukkha—suffering or dissatisfaction.


While the cause of dukkha (the entropic nature of existence) is inescapable, dukkha itself is not. It is a mental construct, a product of interpretation rather than an intrinsic feature of the universe. One might argue that the expansion of the cosmos contradicts this entropic narrative, as it suggests dispersion rather than centralization. However, this apparent exception only reinforces the idea that the universe was set in motion by a conscious being—one whose initial act of will defies, if only temporarily, the ultimate pull toward annihilation.


Thus, existence is a fleeting rebellion against entropy, a brief flicker of decentralization before the final collapse into unity and silence. To understand this is to grasp the fundamental tragedy of being—and, perhaps, the only path to transcending it.
