A Cosmotheandric Heuristic of the true, beautiful, good, unitive, unitary & liberative
transcendentals & imperatives, potencies & acts
The Cosmotheandric Heuristic, above, which is used implicitly throughout this monograph, below, presupposes that all potencies reducible by free human acts are divine (over against any natura pura conceptions).
All human reductions of divine potencies involve integrally related acts (existential, efficient & formal), which reduce potencies (essential, material & final) as are ordered beyond our epistemic-ontic horizons to the transcendental imperatives of beauty, goodness & truth.
A certain convertibility of all of these various aspects will present due to the irreducibly triadic & integral nature of all human acts. Hence, this heuristic aspires only to vague phenomenological appropriations & not to rigorous ontological definitions.
Existential (logoic) acts of thatness reduce the essential potencies of the whatnesses of unitary being, which we recognize as manifestations of the Beautiful. The imperatives are "to be" and to be reasonable, i.e. properly exhibit & evaluate the beautiful.
Efficient (volitional) acts of whoness reduce the material potencies of liberative being, which we recognize (only through authentic freedom) as manifestations of the Good. The imperatives are to be intelligent & responsible, i.e. properly interpret & norm the goodness.
Formal (tropic) acts of howness reduce the final potencies of unitive becoming, which we recognize as manifestations of the True & realize via authenticity as our true selves (mutually constituted). The imperatives are to be attentive & aware and in love, i.e. properly contemplate & describe the truth.
We can refuse to act with proper regard to divine potencies regarding who, that, what, when, where, how much & why, i.e. in a disordered, inordinate or disproportionate manner, e.g. placing lesser over higher goods. Such acts & effects will exist only parasitically & ephemerally.
We can also assent, or, minimalistically, not so refuse; in both cases, though variously, we cooperate with grace and thereby generate eternally abiding acts & effects.
Our authentic freedom refers, then, to - not whether, but - how we will eternally manifest Christ.
Notes re a Putative Natura Nada
In ergo-dynamic terms, mere chaotic materio-energetics would do no eternal works & only ever would produce such entities & regularities as would constitute mere ephemeralities by reducing material impotencies to efficient acts. Divine energeia would introduce eternal potencies ex Deo, which, vis a vis the formless void, in & of itself, would be de novo. Divine essential, material & final potencies would thereby be reducible by both energetic (physical premotion) & synergetic acts that are - not merely existential, efficient & formal, but - divinely & eternally, so. While a dualistic account, again, it involves no full-fledged Manichean realities.
