01
Science
Cosmos governed by physical processes.
Architecture
Physical process cosmos
A one-way stack from physical process to biological organism, with consciousness left open and no established layer above death.
- 01
Physical processes
The cosmos is governed by what can be modeled and predicted.
- 02
Observable structure
Planets, stars, galaxies. Other dimensions or universes remain speculative.
- 03
Biological organism
The human is an organism. Consciousness is unresolved.
- 04
Biological death
Continuation is unestablished. Rebirth has no established evidence.
- Time
- Ordinary history is treated as linear, with physical cycles (orbits, seasons) inside it. Extinctions and possible cosmic endings are events, not a ritual wheel.
- Agents
- No required spiritual agents. Extraterrestrial life is possible and unknown.
- Human slot
- A measurer and a body inside the cosmos — not a moral axis of creation.
- Break
- No moral cosmic opponent. Failure is error, extinction, or the limits of evidence.
Recorded claims
An evidence label is shown only where the kind of source is already established. No label means unclassified. A label is not a judgment. Source Needed means no source is attached yet. It does not mean the claim is false, weak, or disproven.

How we know
Where the evidence comes from, and how far it is from the people it describes. The labels are not a score. They do not rank traditions. A manuscript year, a tradition’s own claim, and a date from the ground are kept apart on the timeline.
This row is a present-day description of a method, not a sacred book. Writing that counts as science is ongoing.
Older natural philosophy is related and is not the source of these nine sentences. There is no autograph that founded “Science” as this chart uses the word.
Original evidence → transmission / copy → translation / documentation → modern interpretation
01
Original evidence
Contemporary primary text
The practice being described is current scientific literature: papers, data, and methods. That literature is contemporary to the method. It is not one classic.
02
Transmission / copy
Later copy of earlier text
Textbooks and reviews pass the method on. They are not a manuscript stemma of a single ancient work.
03
Translation / documentation
Contemporary primary text
Documentation is the paper itself, in whatever language it was written. Translation is ordinary publication, not the recovery of a lost scripture.
04
Modern interpretation
Modern scholarly reconstruction
The nine cells on this chart are a summary. They are not a finding in a journal, and they are not a history of science.
The twenty-one questions
Asked of every system. Gaps are recorded as gaps. Nothing here is filled in to make a pattern prettier.
01
Where are we?
In the observable cosmos of planets, stars, and galaxies, described by physical processes. Other dimensions or universes remain speculative.
Read every system on this question02
What is reality made of?
Physical processes. Reality, as science claims to know it, is what can be observed, measured, and used to predict.
Read every system on this question03
What is a human being?
A biological organism. Consciousness is unresolved.
Read every system on this question04
What is consciousness?
Unresolved. Science records humans as biological organisms and does not treat consciousness as a settled physical account.
Read every system on this question05
Where did humanity come from?
Biological organisms arising within a cosmos of physical processes. The chart does not treat a single origin story as established beyond that frame.
Read every system on this question06
What happens at death?
Biological death. Continuation is unestablished.
Read every system on this question07
Does consciousness return to embodiment?
No established evidence for rebirth.
Read every system on this question08
Where is consciousness between lives?
Not an established scientific category. Continuation after biological death is unestablished.
Read every system on this question09
Are there nonhuman intelligent beings?
Extraterrestrial life is possible; unknown. No established class of spiritual beings is claimed.
Read every system on this question10
Can those beings become human or appear human?
Unknown. The chart records no established claim that nonhuman intelligences become or appear human.
Read every system on this question11
Are there multiple realms or worlds?
Other dimensions or universes are speculative. The established map is the observable cosmos.
Read every system on this question12
Is there a central mountain, tree, pillar, axis, heart, or sacred center?
No sacred mountain, tree, or world-axis is required. The structure is the observable cosmos.
Read every system on this question13
Is the world itself alive?
Not as an organism. The cosmos is governed by physical processes. Life is biological within that cosmos.
Read every system on this question14
Has civilization or the world been destroyed or reset before?
Extinctions and catastrophes are established. Cosmic endings are possible. This is not a moral apocalypse or a ritual reset.
Read every system on this question15
Does history operate linearly or cyclically?
Physical time is treated as linear for ordinary history, with cyclic processes (orbits, seasons, some cosmological models) inside it. Extinctions are events, not a ritual wheel.
Read every system on this question16
Is there an opposing positive/negative force?
No moral cosmic opponent is required. Conflict is physical, biological, and human. Dualism is not a scientific claim.
Read every system on this question17
What is humanity supposed to become?
No ordained destiny is claimed. Humans remain biological organisms; what they “should become” is not a scientific result.
Read every system on this question18
Is reincarnation a destination, punishment, school, growth process, or something else?
Not a scientific category. There is no established evidence, so it is neither school nor punishment in this record.
Read every system on this question19
What lies beyond the visible world?
Other dimensions/universes are speculative. What is claimed as known is the observable cosmos.
Read every system on this question20
How does this tradition claim humans can know any of this?
Observation, experiment, measurement, prediction.
Read every system on this question21
Does the structure or motion of the heavens correspond to events, conditions, or consciousness within the human realm?
The heavens are physical: orbits, light, gravity. They do not, as a scientific claim, correspond to human events or consciousness as signs. Correlation of seasons and tides is physical, not astrological.
