The Binding Consciousness: God, Continuity, and the Coherence of Being
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) April 13, 2026 David Nelms
Continuity is not merely a systems-level property but a fundamental ontological reality grounded in a higher binding consciousness. God may be understood as perfect continuity: the unbroken, self-sustaining source of coherence through which all things persist, relate, and take form. Human beings are finite, localized expressions of this greater continuity—materially formed from the cosmos yet rooted in a deeper consciousness that binds existence into a unified whole. Fragmentation reflects loss of coherence, while truth, love, and restoration reflect renewed alignment with the source. Theology and systems theory are brought into direct relation, suggesting that the persistence of identity, meaning, and being itself depends upon an ultimate conscious unity.
