De Revolutionibus Veritatis

On the Revolutions of Truth — honoring Copernicus and naming a re-centering of truth analogous to the re-centering of the cosmos.

David Lowe · Theophysics · 2025–2026

Six papers. One question: What kind of ground is required for mathematical truth, logical structure, moral normativity, and physical law to hold together simultaneously?

The answer is derived from information theory, thermodynamics, and mathematical logic — with no theological premise introduced until the final paper. The proof generates the lock before anyone goes looking for the key. That eliminates curve-fitting. That is prediction and confirmation, not retrofit.

The probability of any worldview satisfying all twenty constraints by coincidence: 1 in a million to 1 in 100 trillion, depending on independence assumptions.

The Argument in One Page

Overview — Three Questions, Three Answers

Why does coherence bind us? What kind of ground is required? Does any worldview satisfy the constraints? The entire arc compressed into a single document — with the empirical foundation that makes it stick.

I

The Architecture

Book I — Why the Mathematics Moves This Way

The Soteriological Limit: no finite system can fully ground itself. Eight independently verified instances across eight domains. The formal theorem that Godel, Chaitin, Tarski, and the quantum measurement problem are all the same structural principle.

II

The Lock

Book II — 20 Axioms from Information Theory

Twenty axioms, each individually undeniable. Shannon entropy, Kolmogorov complexity, Chaitin's incompleteness. Mathematical truth cannot be self-grounding. The source must be necessary, eternal, immaterial, coherent, and morally good.

III

The Cost of Denial

Book III — The Person Who Does Not Exist

What kind of person would you have to become to deny all twenty axioms? The Coherence Asymmetry Theorem, the Active Coherence Proof, the Existential Negation Test. This paper doesn't argue. It describes what denial looks like.

IV

The Key

Book IV — Christianity Tested Against the Lock

The lock was designed blind. Now test which key fits. Christianity evaluated against every axiom and boundary condition. Five alternative worldviews tested. A probability analysis that changes everything.

VI

The Cycle

Book VI — The Thermodynamics of Institutional Collapse

Every institution that encodes truth eventually corrupts it. This is not an observation — it's a thermodynamic law. The formal derivation, and the one predicted exception.

The Twenty Axioms (Preview)

  1. Mathematical truths exist independently of human minds
  2. Mathematical truths are necessarily true
  3. Mathematical truths are universal
  4. Mathematical truths are immaterial
  5. Mathematical truths are eternal
  6. Mathematical truths form a coherent system
  7. Mathematical truths are discoverable by minds
  8. Mathematical truths cannot be self-grounding (Godel)
  9. The ground of mathematical truth must be necessary
  10. The ground must be eternal
  11. The ground must be non-deceptive (moral property)
  12. The ground must be immaterial
  13. The ground must be universal
  14. The ground must be coherent
  15. The ground must be singular (Occam)
  16. The ground must be intelligent (information requires sender)
  17. The ground must be personal (morality requires persons)
  18. The ground must be free (necessity without determinism)
  19. The ground must be creative (generates, not merely contains)
  20. The ground must be good (non-deception entails benevolence)
