The Mystery of Creation: Chapter 3: Understanding the Trinity: The Three Basic Elements of Intelligence

The Three Basic Elements of Intelligence

                Why is all this important to understanding God?  It teaches us that something that is intelligent must have three basic elements.  These three elements are: Definition, Law and Energy.  For example, in order for the number line to exist an individual needs numbers to count.  The Definition, then, of the number line is the numbers that it uses.  I can use the numbers 0 through 9 or I could even create a number line with just the numbers 0 and 1.  (Note: using numbers 0 and 1 is what computer programmers use a lot of times as a computer language called binary language.  Programmers can create entire system commands simply by using two numbers, 0 and 1 and putting them in different sequences.  Ex. 00100101 means something totally different than 01011010.)

                So if the Definition of the number line is the numbers it uses, what is the Law of the number line?  The Law of a number line is something like this: First you count 0 and then 1 and then 2 and then 3 and then 4, and then 5 and then 6 and then 7 and then 8 and then 9.  Once you reach 9 you return to 0 but add a 1 to the left of the 0 to create 10.  Then repeat but only changing the digit to the right until you reach 9 again.  When you reach 9 again you return that digit to 0 but increase the digit just to the left by 1.  Follow this pattern indefinitely.  This is the Law that the Definition obeys. 

                What, then, is the Energy of the number line?  The Energy is whatever it is that is changing the Definition and obeying the Law.  So if you have a counter and you hit the button on the counter, you are transmitting energy to the dial to switch the number from 00 to 01 to 02 to 03, and so forth.  The source of the energy, then, is the person pressing the button and thus making the change.

                So we see that computers have these three elements in place.  The Energy that it has comes from a battery or electrical outlet.  This Energy causes all things to function within the computer.  It is regulated by the control unit which passes the energy into the ALU.  This ALU then sets rules and orders, thus acting as the Law, which the Energy transmits to various parts of the computer.  It is the control unit that controls the Energy that actually executes the commands of the ALU’s Law. 

                As for the Definition that is found within the computer, that is the computer programming.  The CPU determines which programming to obey and when and how, but it needs the programming, those definitions, or it cannot function.  Even the ALU is built upon rules created by the computer programming.  It is the computer programming within the ALU that dictates how the ALU puts all things in order.

                Notice that if even one of these three things is missing the computer would not function.  Without Energy, the computer is dead.  Without the Law, the ALU, the computer would not function properly and the entire system would be a mass of chaos.  A user wouldn’t even be able to do anything on the computer, for nothing would actually give the commands to the Energy to tell the system what to do next.  Without the Definition, the computer code, the ALU and control unit would never understand any commands and would never be able to even give commands for the system to obey.  Therefore, in order for an intelligence to exist it must consist of three distinctly different elements.  All three work together in unity, and each needs the other just to function.
