I think your idea about the reversal of the subject-predicate logic, when seen from the point of view of God was very interesting, the reason being that Martinus made exactly such a reversal in a very brief analysis of the relationship between subject and predicate, that he did in Livets Bog 3, section 1012.
This reversal has always puzzled me, but the more I think about it, it makes sense from the cosmic outlook that Martinus has.
In Martinus’ analysis all of existence is based on the contrast between the unlimited, unmanifested “unnamable something that is”, and the limited everchanging final entities that constitute the contents of our experience. In the logic of numbers the infinite is represented by the zero and our limited experience of final entities by the other ciphers. And very briefly he mentions that we find the same logic in the relationship between subject and predicate with the subject in its deepest analysis being identical with infinity, and the predicate pointing to the everchanging world of proces or movement.
The fact that we humans see it otherwise is in Martinus’ analysis based on a kind of transcendental illusion (not his term) stemming from the fact that we falsely consider the physical body our perspectival center due to our ignorance of the unlimited self that rightly occupies that role.
Wow. Probability functions of light cones of time partially determining future occurrences with the potential for them to be guided by the application of cognitive awareness of the possibilities of the recent past to the circumstances of the present. And several other insights by Whitehead that were encrypted by his religious bias and probably his choice of terminology that kept him from being ostracized for extreme views. Kind of like Plato's dialogues.
I mention my reply to Andrew Davis’ talk on the necessary goodness of God at the 2023 International Whitehead conference in Munich. You can find that here: https://youtu.be/ffiUjYur0mk?si=TMJ8nJIxagd5tY4T
Great dialogue, Matt.

Very interesting! I am so glad you brought this to my attention. I’ll read what he has to say asap and share my reflections.
