[MONAD]: Monad (representative dot in a theoretical circle) = the zero-dimensional (0D) space holding our quarks together with the Strong Nuclear Force. Monad (from Greek μονάς monas, "singularity" in turn from μόνος monos, "alone") refers, in cosmogony, to the Supreme Being, divinity or the totality of all things. „If the potential of every number is in the monad, then the monad would be intelligible number in the strict sense, since it is not yet manifesting anything actual, but everything conceptually together in it.“ - Iamblichus On the Monad The Theology of Arithmetic Almost all Gnostic systems of the Syrian or Egyptian type taught that the universe began with an original, unknowable God, referred to as the Parent or Bythos, or as the Monad by Monoimus. "He is the invisible Spirit, of whom it is not right to think of him as a god, or something similar. For he is more than a god, since there is nothing above him, for no one lords it over him. For he does not exist in something inferior to him, since everything exists in him. For it is he who establishes himself. He is eternal, since he does not need anything. For he is total perfection. A being can have a relationship with a God but not the Monad as that would be a contradiction." - The Apocryphon of John, 180 AD. [SOUL]: Soul = the totality of an object's quark mass (measured in Megaelectron Volts). Quarks have mass but no size (no spatial extension) and if they aren't here, they're there (Top/Bottom, Strange/Charm, etc.). The "other side" is the other side of the Monad.
Interesting, in the original Taoist text about the ultimate truth, Lao Zi said that “In the beginning there was the Way(logos); then comes two; from two comes three; from three comes everything.”
Once upon a time there was a vast and empty void. It was an endless expanse of nothingness, with no matter, energy, or even light. But within this emptiness, there was a tiny spark. It was a singularity, a point of infinite density and temperature, where the laws of physics as we know them break down. And from this spark, the universe was born. At the very beginning of time, the universe was incredibly small and hot. All the matter and energy that would one day form galaxies, stars, and planets was packed into a tiny, zero-dimensional space. This space was so small that it could hold just a few elementary particles, the building blocks of matter. But even in this tiny space, something incredible was happening. The particles were held together by a powerful force, known as the Strong Nuclear Force. This force is responsible for binding the protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom, and without it, the particles would simply fly apart. As the universe expanded and cooled, the particles began to combine to form atoms, molecules, and eventually, the first stars and galaxies. And yet, even as the universe grew and evolved, the Strong Nuclear Force continued to hold the particles together. As scientists peered deeper into the structure of matter, they discovered that the particles themselves were made up of even smaller building blocks, known as quarks. And once again, the Strong Nuclear Force was there, binding the quarks together to form protons and neutrons. The story of the Strong Nuclear Force is intimately connected to the story of our universe. It is the force that holds matter together, from the smallest particles to the largest structures in the cosmos. Without it, the universe as we know it could not exist. And so, as we gaze up at the stars and ponder the mysteries of the universe, let us remember the tiny, zero-dimensional space that holds our quarks together with the Strong Nuclear Force, and the role it has played in shaping our cosmic history.
