You found a pattern alright, one that suits your theory.

The pattern emerges from pure Newtonian equal opposite reactions in a contracting homogeneous substance. An infinite substance. The pattern is inherent in the relative spatial relationships the substance has with itself.

The contraction of this substance creates space. For the outward contraction you need and equal/opposite inward contraction. The contraction is radial, establishing a border sphere and a center real point with a tensor field in equilibrium between them.

The inverse of this 3 part "holon" directly predicts and describes the anatomy and behavior of an atom.

Inverting this holon gives me a large spherical central component with a smaller point-like component flying around in a probability field, establishing a discrete spherical border condition.

The action and appearance is cymatic: Vibration creates form. If you vibrate a round bucket full of water, you get round internal standing waves. if you vibrate a square bucket you get square waves. The universe is a spherical container and makes spherical internal wave-forms.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Quote: “Mater, the Latin word for “mother,” has given rise to the word “matter”….

The Latin word for “father,” pater, gave rise to... “pattern.”

Thus, [our circumstances] can be seen as coming from both a mother and father, the mating of
matter + pattern.”

As I have just demonstrated pretty comprehensively, using a non-biased resource purely on the subject of etymology (which you brought up), that is not true.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Why then, would seeing an underlying meaning here or anywhere else -mean- anything more than whatever underlying divine meaning resides in your taking a morning shit?  It becomes another term for "normal stuff happening".

The topic as I understand it: If there is a God, what is it's relationship to the universe?  Op postulated God was to the universe like the mind is to the human body.

I've asserted that God is like the Father to a Mother and the universe is the womb and everything in it part of a developing life form.  I haven't gotten into why yet.

And I'll postulate that gawd is to an adult as an imaginary friend is to a child.
