>>13223209God is the limiting conception of human communities when communities get large, and all the people agree to play superrationally, meaning that they take into account their correlations. In this way, they link up into a super-brain, and in the infinite time and infinite size limit , it is an infinitely wise being who cares about you, and tells you what to do, inasmuch as your individual consciousness is linked with this future community.
This vision is equivalent in logical positivist content to the God of the Bible, minus the supernatural bits and creating the universe. The superrationality gets you to act together to further your aims, and the community that is closest toGod wins the evolutionary battle for minds, because this is the most collectively successful strategy for collective game-play. So God wins in history, and is revealed in congregative religious practice.
It is also the Church Kleene ordinal, the formal mathematical statement of the same thing, where the evolution is making stronger and stronger formal systems, and the limit is the limit of proof-theoretic ordinals describing the strength of the system.
The two concepts are related, in that the systems which approach the Church Kleene ordinal resolve the game theoretic questions which arise in larger and larger superrational communities playing asymmetric games, and conversely, the larger communities can reason in ever more powerful systems, which converge in a sense to a system of complete computational strength, described by the Church Kleene ordinal.
It's related to Cantor's vision of God as the limit of all ordinals. In this case, I am just adding the word "computable" to the idea, and it is probable, although not certain, that this is sufficient, although there is no proof yet that the ordinal reflections of arithmetic are a complete and consistent system of mathematics, and perhaps such a proof is impossible, and it must remain forever an "article of faith", as Cohen put it.
