Yeah this is really outside domain so forgive me, I can only swing using the bitcoin lens applied to the chrono-logics of time. Could you define eternity by a discrete process that repeats itself (time begins a new) fractally forward? The chain grows longer from within itself. Bitcoin is infinite regress instantiated and contained. Side question; if you theoretically lived inside of Bitcoin, who would you call God? Satoshi? or those who write the chain through process? From inside the chain, how would you differentiate?

I think I would distinguish between Satoshi's discovery of how to bind a ledger to thermodynamics using computers (because computers bind math to electricity, jeuls to discrets sets of operations), from God creating everything. There can only be (and must be) one uncaused cause. If Satoshi was God, that would be a second incarnation and that would contradict the first one. This kind of goes to why Bitcoin the medium has to be distinguished from money itself, the ordering principle that Bitcoin the physical object approximates.The infinite cannot be a product of the finite. The effect cannot be greater than the cause. It can't be circular. It can't be a fractal. It can't be turtles all the way down. That breaks first principles and then we wouldn't have an intelligible universe at all. Time can't implement itself. Time is created and can't be the creator.

“Bitcoin is infinite regress instantiated and contained.” 🤔 What is the genesis block? That’s not an infinite regress.
