Gospel Koan 30.5
Ascent Into Order
Koan 30.5
In creation, the Gospel: 'God spell' casts the universe in matter, not void, in binding not freedom, in organisation not chaos.
Summary Exposition
This koan posits creation not as an imposition of order, but as the autological expression of the conference of difference because a featureless void is a functional impossibility for a reality constituted by dynamic relation. A single, potent example is the formation of the first atoms: the interplay of forces and particles as the universe cooled did not 'choose' order, but inherently and inevitably manifested the stable relational patterns we call physical law. The fundamental implication is that the cosmos is inherently and constitutively ordered; its very substance is active, self-organizing relation. What we perceive as chaos is not an alternative to this order, but merely a more complex, less predictable layer of the same binding conference of difference.[1]

This generative binding is not in conflict with the second law of thermodynamics. Entropy is not a law of decay but the 'leaning ledger of relational possibilities' within the conference of difference. The accumulation of past resolutions makes a return to prior states statistically improbable, not forbidden. The increase in global entropy is thus the 'redistribution into softer symmetries', a concomitant expression of the conference of difference itself. âŠī¸
