questions. This exercise is not setting forth rules
or formulating dogma. It is an attempt to create a working model, not with an eye
to truth but to convenience. The only rules applicable are those that are convenient
to use. In this system there is no interest in, there is no possibility of, truth.
There is no longer a solid base, a substantial reality, from which to make pronouncements.
We move toward an always inferred, unknowable reality with the symbols, the frames
of reference, available to us. What we find is only a model. Man was such a model.
Man, the model, is dead.
It is no longer necessary to say yes to life, No one is there to listen; no one is
interested in you, no one is interested in your words.

No man’s land.
Progress is merely decreation. “ Entia non sunt multiplicanda praeter necessitatem . We must not assume the existence of any entity until we are compelled to do so.
This principle is purely destructive, it takes something away.” 1 Decreation: “A person can doubt only if he has learned certain things; as he can
miscalculate only if he has learned to calculate.” 2 The advances of civilization are gross exaggerations; a function of the language
with its built-in commitment to the accretive historical model. Flat earth: round
earth. It isn’t a one hundred percent accretive advance from one to two: one hundred
assumes and decreates ninety-nine. Round earth assumes and decreates flat earth. Invisible
assumes and decreates visible. Events assume and decreate matter. The relativistic
universe assumes and decreates the mechanistic universe. “Progress is always a transcendence
of what is obvious:” 3 decreation. Is it simply that “progress in any aspect is a movement through changes
of terminology?” 4
“A no man’s land, or better said, a no signals region extends between past and future.” 5 Universe is finite: no space-time continuum. A voice out of the past? The reliving
of an experience? Don’t call it memory. Is it possible to remember? “A seeing into
the past? It does not show us the past. Anymore than our senses show us the present.
Nor can it be said to communicate the past to us.” 6
Universe is finite: a process of decreation: the passing of the created into the uncreated.
Decreation: the created passes into man-made invention. Reality passes into description.
The end of the waste system. The waste: the generalizations of previous epochs. Decreation:
getting through the history of words. We must not assume the existence of any entity
until we are compelled to do so. “The point is that unnecessary units in a sign language
mean nothing.” 7
The accretive principle: the predominant way people live, like the oldfashioned idea
of making a living; amounting to something. Stuff starts at one point and goes through
accretive increments of time, of space, of history, etc., to get to another point.
Universe: no accretion; no accumulation; no development; no continuity. Neither before
nor after; neither behind nor beyond; neither here nor there; neither inside nor outside;
neither from nor to: No direction; no between: no communication.
Universe: a verb. Not existing in time, but time itself and not the time of past,
present, future. Time undifferentiated in activity, not time of being. Universe: a
decreated world: “a moment in time / and of time. / A moment not out of time, but
in time, in what we call history: / transecting, bisecting the world of time, a moment
in time / but not like a moment of time, / A moment in time but time was made through
that moment: / for without the meaning there is no time, and that moment / of time
gave the meaning.” 8
