A 450+ page first-principles philosophical and scientific investigation into the nature of reality by Kurtis Todd. Beginning with one premise — things exist — the book follows the logic through nine chapters to a complete panentheistic framework, without importing theological assumptions. Available in paperback ($24.99), hardcover ($44.99), and eBook on Amazon.
The Argument in Brief
Every existing thing has dependencies. Dependency chains cannot regress infinitely — that would explain nothing. Circular causation also fails. Therefore a non-derivative, self-subsistent ground is required by logic alone. The Container Principle then constrains what that ground must be: effects cannot exceed their total cause. Life, Consciousness, Love, Intelligence, and Will exist in the universe — therefore they must exist in what grounds it. This conclusion is derived, not assumed.
Six Scientific Convergences
Quantum Foundations — Spekkens, Brukner, Schmid: observer-independent facts do not exist at the foundational level of physics. Reality is relational.
Consciousness Research — Chalmers, Tononi, Koch, Egnor: no physical description explains subjective experience. The hard problem is structural.
Systems Biology — Denis Noble: top-down causation is experimentally verified. The whole organizes the parts.
Philosophy of Mind — Bernardo Kastrup: starting from the certainty of consciousness reverses the standard explanatory direction.
Mathematical Structure — Wigner, Mandelbrot, Penrose: the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics and recursive self-similarity at every scale.
