Ed Schenk Predestination / Karma / Reincarnation
The following text are expressions by the Dutch Mathematical Poet, Ed Schenk
Predestination / karma / reincarnation
Some agnostics define death as:
death = life – life axiom 1)
In many religions the believe is there is something after or above death. This could be written as:
death ≠ 0 axiom 2)
Now if axiom 1 and axiom 2 are simultaneous valid, this leads to the postulate:
life ≠ life
This looks contradictory, however if we introduce the element time, axiom 1 could be written as:
death = life(n+1) – life(n),
where n is the current life. Moving variables yields: life(n+1) = life(n) + death. This could be written as:
next life = this life + death (predestination)
or
this life = next life – death This formula looks a bit strange, however this is due to semantics. If we take into account that time is not necessarily linear we could replace the word ‘next’ by the word ‘another’.
This leads to: this life = another life – death (karma)
