Whereas I can readily agree that all is flux (including knowledge in the process of becoming) because flux is the consequence of a time dimension, or if one prefers particle physics, energy — there is indeed, one and only one invariant. And that of course is God Himself.

Yes, indeed, dearest sister in Christ!

Yet this "flux" is neither "random," nor "chaotic." Rather, it seems to me it is God's chosen process for realizing His creation, which He designed to unfold in space and time; that is, in a manner such that paltry intelligences such as we humans have could grasp, and hopefully appreciate and understand, what God hath wrought....

If we could see as He sees, we probably wouldn't notice any "flux" at all. :^)

But we don't, and we can't.

God does not "vary." His Logos — His Word, Alpha to Omega — does not "vary." Thus the "rules of the road" He laid down in the Beginning are invariant. The forms they may take in the "flux" are capable of variation. But there is a natural limit that kicks in where such forms vary too much outside the divine pattern/parameters laid down in the Beginning....

My suspicion is there is some very deep mathematics, especially of the geometrical kind, involved here....

Or so it seems to me, FWIW.

It's an intriguing subject.

Thank you so very much, dearest sister in Christ, for your keen insights!

There is deep dimensional reality, as hinted at by passages such as the fifth chapter of Daniel. Have you ever asked yourself upon reading that passage, ‘What kind of Space and what kind of Time exists the being from whom the hand reached out into Belshazzar’s where/when?’ I have, and it leads to more than two decades of wonder and processing. I’ll bet many others have also tread along that trail.
