I don't have the time, the inclination, or the wits. But I strongly suspect that if one is developed, it will very much follow the tone of the thread, as posted by Alamo-girl. It will satisfy the mathematicians and physicists. It will satisfy the religious aspect and the mystics. It will have bits and pieces of all doctrines, and will show why when a mystic says one thing, and a topologist says another, they are in fact saying he same thing, with a different language. I remember endless hours in college arguing about whether space was Euclidean or not. Turns out it doesn't really matter, it is and it ain't, at the same time. (see "Is space curved?" I. W. Roxburgh, Professor of Applied Mathematics, Queen Mary College, 1977)

Creator creates, but satisfaction is free will.
