Grace flows from outside. It cannot be self-generated (BC2). Responds to brokenness—the more S approaches critical, the more G flows.
Dual Projection
Gravity / Negentropy
- • Always attractive, never repulsive
- • Requires escape velocity to overcome
- • Determines spacetime geometry
- • External force (cannot self-generate)
Charis / Unmerited Favor
- • Always drawing toward God
- • Requires active rejection to escape
- • Reshapes the soul's geometry
- • External source (BC2: no self-generation)
The Story
"For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God..."
— Ephesians 2:8-9
Grace is the external rescue. No matter how hard you try, you cannot generate grace from within—just as a falling object cannot generate upward thrust. This is Boundary Condition BC2: no closed system generates grace internally.
The physics is precise: gravity is never repulsive. Grace never pushes away. Both determine the geometry of their domains—gravity curves spacetime; grace curves the soul toward God.
The G in the Master Equation is multiplicative. If G = 0, χ = 0 regardless of other variables. This is the veto power of grace—without it, nothing else matters.
Five Axioms
1. External Source Only (BC2)
No closed system generates grace internally. Like thermodynamic negentropy, must flow from outside.
2. Responds to Need
∂G/∂t increases as S → Sc. The more broken, the more grace flows.
3. Idempotent Source
Giving grace away doesn't diminish it. Drawn from infinite reservoir.
4. Coherence-Only Coupling
True grace builds order (C). If creating chaos (S), it's not grace.
5. Conjugate to Faith [G,Q] = iℏeff
Grace and Faith are Fourier pairs. Cannot know both precisely.
Conjugate Pair: G ↔ Q
"By grace through faith" — multiplicative coupling G × Q, not additive.
