I like to look at the metaphysics behind religion.
The node is synchronization.
The network is harmonization.
Here is my latest essay;

Basically pointing out the logical fallacy with conventional monotheism being that a spiritual absolute would necessarily be the essence of sentience, from which we rise, not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which fell. More the light shining through and animating the film, than the stories played out on it.
I find myself shadow banned on SubStack, since two days after posting it. If you read it, you might understand why it would step on some toes, given current conditions.
My interest in applying is to dig a bit into my opening observation. That organisms and super organisms, aka communities, are a function of the centripetal dynamic of synchronization and that's why it seems they swirl down the rabbit holes, when they becomes disconnected from their context.
