Though the One is a bit of a trap as well.

Reality is that tension between equilibrium and infinity, so the nodes settle into equilibrium while the networks stretch to infinity. Organisms synchronize, while ecosystems harmonize.

Consequently the One tends towards synchronization and away from harmonization. The feedback goes parabolic, like putting the microphone next to the speaker.

Energy radiates to infinity, while form coalesces toward equilibrium, as in galaxies as cosmic convection cycles..

We are driven by our desires and mediated by our decisions. Heart and head.

More yin and yang, than God Almighty.

A spiritual absolute would be the essence of sentience, from which we rise, not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which we fell.

Good and bad are not some cosmic conflict between the forces of righteousness and evil, but the basic biological binary of beneficial and detrimental. When good is viewed as aspirational, rather than elemental, conflicts between a race to the bottom, as all the higher order nuance and subjectivity is suspect.
