Note
This research is not
final. That is why I am sharing this model of change and the resources that I used in order to construct this
model. Please provide constructive criticism and do not feel obligated in modifying this model. I also invite questions. Questions are necessary in
order to arrive at a better understanding for not only myself but for everyone as well.
What is the significance of “Paraclete”?
Paraclete means advocate or helper.

Assumption: everything is a sum of the previous two.
Concepts
First, I present the basis for my model. The process of change is certain. The process of change is cyclic and self-sustaining. Cyclic processes have
no beginning or end. There are only transitions. The universe is the totality of everything that exists. This includes all matter and energy, the
planets, stars, galaxies, and the contents of intergalactic space. The Universe uses evolution to change. Consciousness is a term that refers to the
relationship between the mind and the world with which it interacts. The mind is constituted by conscious experience and intelligent thought.
The Model
The Universe expresses its maximum self through the evolution of The Consciousness. The Consciousness replicates itself. The copy is the
"light-bearer". The Consciousness becomes fully self-conscious through interactions with the "light-bearer". The Consciousness copies itself into a
third consciousness, the "helper", to support the second consciousness. The three consciousnesses replicate many copies of themselves. The "helper"
and its replicated consciousness leave the elusive zone of light and enter the zone of dark, the void.
The "helper" creates matter, possibly through “quantum fluctuation”. The “Big Bang” occurs. The “Big Bang” within The Universe expresses
its maximum self through the evolution of subatomic particles. Subatomic particles express themselves by forming the Atom. The Atom forms a copy. The
copy is hydrogen. The Atom becomes fully self-conscious through interactions with hydrogen. The Atom copies itself into a third consciousness, the
stars, to support hydrogen. The three elements replicate themselves. Star leaves the zone of light into the dark, the void.
The stars create planets, through the collapse of a nebula into a thin disk of gas and dust. The planets express their maximum self through the
evolution of water molecules. Water molecules express themselves by forming gaseous water. Gaseous water copies itself. The copy is liquid water.
Gaseous water becomes fully self-conscious through interactions with liquid water. The gaseous water copies itself into a third consciousness, solid
water. The three forms of matter replicate themselves. Solid water leaves the zone of light into the dark, the void.
The solid water creates the cell. The cell expresses their maximum self through the evolution of the living organism. The living organism expresses
itself by forming the plant. The plant copies itself. The copy is the invertebrate animal. The plant becomes fully self-conscious through interaction
with the invertebrate animal. The plant copies itself into a third consciousness, the vertebrate animal. The three forms of matter replicate
themselves. Vertebrate animal leaves the zone of light into the dark, the void.
The vertebrate animal creates the mammal. The mammal expresses their maximum self through the evolution of language. The language expresses itself by
forming the hominid. The hominid copies itself. The copy is kin. The hominid becomes fully self-conscious through interaction with kin. The hominid
copies itself into a third consciousness, culture. The three forms of humanity replicate themselves. Culture leaves the zone of light into the dark,
the void.
The culture creates agriculture. The agriculture expresses their maximum self through the evolution of civilization. The civilization expresses itself
by forming the group identity. The group identity copies itself. The copy is group behavior. The group identity becomes fully self-conscious through
interaction with group behavior. The group identity copies itself into a third consciousness, a consciousness. The three forms of humanity replicate
themselves. A consciousness leaves the zone of light into the dark, the void.
A consciousness replicates itself. The copy is a "light-bearer". A consciousness becomes fully self-conscious through interactions with a
"light-bearer". A consciousness copies itself into a third consciousness, a "helper", to support the second consciousness. The three consciousnesses
replicate many copies of themselves. The "helper" and its replicated consciousness leave the zone of light and enter the zone of dark, the void.
The "helper" creates matter, possibly through “quantum fluctuation”. A “Big Bang” occurs. A “Big Bang” expresses its maximum self through
the evolution of subatomic particles.
Formulations of the question
The Fibonacci sequence is applied to this model. The first two numbers in the Fibonacci sequence are 0 and 1, and each subsequent number is the sum of
the previous two. For example, “The Consciousness” is the sum of “Existence” and “The Universe”.
0 = Existence
1 = The Universe
1 = The Consciousness
2 = The Light-bearer
3 = The Helper
5 = Subatomic particles
8 = Atom
13 = Hydrogen
21 = Stars
34 = Planets
55 = Water molecules
89 = Gaseous water
144 = Liquid water
233 = Solid water
377 = Cell
610 = Living organism
987 = Plants
1597 = Invertebrate animal
2584 = Vertebrate animal
4181 = Mammal
6765 = Language
10946 = Hominid
17711 = Kin
28657 = Culture
46368 = Agriculture
75025 = Civilization
121393 = Group Identity
196418 = Group behavior
317811 = A Consciousness
514229 = A Light-bearer
832040 = A Helper
1346269 = Subatomic particles
2178309 = Atom
3524578 = Hydrogen
5702887 = Stars
9227465 = Planets
14930352 = Water molecules
24157817 = Gaseous water
39088169 = Liquid water
63245986 = Solid water
102334155 = Cell
165580141 = Living organism
267914296 = Plants
433494437 = Invertebrate animal
701408733 = Vertebrate animal
1134903170 = Mammal
1836311903 = Language
2971215073 = Hominid
4807526976 = Kin
7778742049 = Culture
12586269025 = Agriculture
20365011074 = Civilization
32951280099 = Group Identity
53316291173 = Group Behavior
86267571272 = A Consciousness
This sequence is infinite. The significance of paraclete the prime mover may most likely be that everything is a sum of the previous two. The first
two are Existence and The Universe.
Background and motivation
I received my bachelor's degree in anthropology in 2009. I'm now working as a field archaeologist as I prepare for entering graduate school. My
motivation is to use rationalism to come at a holistic understanding of change.
