The Mathematical Unus Mundus
Why Things Happen: Escaping Karma, Manifestation, and Randomness
Why Do Things Happen, Anyway?
One of the universe’s greatest mysteries is why things happen. In a cosmos of infinite souls, what are the rules of engagement? How do they interact?
In a world of suffering and uncertainty, humans have devised countless explanations for how we shape our destiny—individually and collectively. Is reality governed by divine will, randomness, deterministic laws, or something else entirely?
No theory of reality is complete without answering this fundamental question—and Ontological Mathematics provides a precise, rational solution. But before we explore that, it’s worth asking: why does this even matter?
If a creator god controls everything, striving for mastery may be pointless. If karma governs reality, how do we uplift others? And if science is right—if the universe is purely random or strictly determined—then what happens to freedom, purpose, or the drive to make change?
Before we can arrive at a mathematical answer, we must first examine the flawed explanations we’ve inherited.
The Limits of Karma and Manifestation
Most spiritual seekers are familiar with the idea of karma—the principle that actions, past and present, shape our future experiences. It has a certain elegance: you get out of the universe what you put in. Like a cosmic Golden Rule.
In Hinduism, karma accumulates over lifetimes, dictating rebirth and social status. This naturally led to the caste system, where people are seen as “deserving” their station in life. Buddhism, on the other hand, takes a more psychological approach—karma is about intention shaping experience, and liberation comes through wisdom, not social rank.
But karma carries baggage. It’s often framed in terms of moral judgment, implying some external, universal authority determining what is “good” and “bad.” The problem? Good and bad are rarely defined, and karma’s mechanics are never explained in any precise way. If karma is a strict past-to-future chain of causality, how does it actually function? Who or what enforces it?
Karma discussions often slide into victim-blaming. If someone suffers, it must be their fault—some leftover debt from past lives. If we were the sole dreamers of reality, that might make sense. But we’re not. And common interpretations of karma fail to account for collective and emergent consequences beyond individual actions.
New Age thought, especially the Law of Attraction, takes a different approach: karma without morality. Instead of a cosmic judge weighing good and bad, it claims that our beliefs, emotions, and “vibrations” shape our experiences. It’s an attractive idea, especially in self-help circles—promising everything from deep personal fulfillment to material wealth if you just think the right thoughts and radiate the right energy.
But like traditional karma, it offers no real explanation for how this works. It’s simply presented as a universal truth—one you’re expected to accept on faith.
The Law of Attraction assumes a one-way relationship between mind and matter. It claims the mind projects reality, but doesn’t account for how reality pushes back on the individual mind. We aren’t the only dreamer here—the universe is co-created by infinite minds, each with its own free will, each shaping reality in its own way. If thoughts alone dictated external circumstances, all we’d need to do is think positively to bend reality to our will. But what happens when multiple people have conflicting desires? Who “wins” the manifestation battle?
And if the world is nothing more than a projection of your own mind, then does anyone else even exist?
This is where the Law of Attraction slides into solipsism—the idea that only your perception is real, and everything else is just an illusion. It subtly encourages an egocentric view of reality, where everything that happens to you is a direct result of your own thoughts, ignoring the existence of other minds, other perspectives, and a shared, mathematically structured reality that transcends individual desires. It’s ironic to find this perspective in the heart of the new age movement—one that seeks to dissolve the ego, yet subtly reinforces it through an illusion of personal omnipotence.
Karma and New Age manifestation thinking are also remarkably effective at allowing us to shirk our responsibility for others—and the worst part? We don’t even realize it. These ideas slip in under the guise of empowerment, subtly shifting every burden back onto the individual. If you’re struggling, it’s your fault. If you see injustice, don’t challenge it—fix your own “vibrations” instead. How many times have you heard a manifestation guru say that if you feel wealth inequality is unfair, the problem isn’t the system—it’s your own mindset? This is a dangerous inversion of ethics, where social responsibility is abandoned in favor of a hyper-individualistic fantasy: that reality exists purely to reflect you.
Science and the Failure of Modern Causality
Contemporary science takes the opposite approach. Rather than acknowledge individual minds with free will, the dominant paradigm dismisses both—reducing everything to randomness.
Many people don’t realize there are multiple interpretations of quantum mechanics. The most widely accepted today—practically the default—is the Copenhagen interpretation, which suggests that reality is fundamentally probabilistic. Events don’t unfold due to reason, purpose, or intent. They just happen, dictated by chance. New Age mystics latch onto this uncertainty, claiming that if reality is probabilistic, then we can “hack” it—manipulating quantum possibilities to manifest desires. But this belief lacks an actual mechanism. If everything boils down to probabilities, where is the lever we pull to control the outcomes?
Then there’s the Many Worlds interpretation, which avoids randomness by taking things to an even more bizarre extreme: everything happens, just in separate realities. Every possible outcome actually occurs—just in a different branch of the multiverse. You win the lottery in one universe and go bankrupt in another. Every choice you make, every roll of the dice, splits reality into infinite parallel versions of itself. Some gurus suggest that you can learn to “surf” between these realities, manifesting the one you desire. Ironically, I’ve spoken to some gurus endorsing this idea who were unaware that there were other interpretations of quantum mechanics!
Neither karma, New Age beliefs, nor contemporary science offer real explanatory power. They don’t tell us why things happen or how different minds influence reality. Instead, they sidestep the issue entirely—one by attributing everything to randomness, another by insisting that every possibility plays out somewhere, making choice itself irrelevant, and the last by claiming reality is simply a mirror of your inner state, ignoring the external world entirely.
But reality isn’t random. It isn’t just a reflection of your mind. And it doesn’t splinter into infinite, meaningless versions. Things happen because of mathematical necessity—a structured, interconnected universe where infinite minds shape existence through reason, logic, and frequency interactions.
A Collective, Mathematical Reality
Carl Jung offered a compelling way to approach this mystery. He suggested that synchronicity—meaningful coincidences that seem acausal yet too precise to be mere chance—was evidence of an underlying order connecting mind and matter. To describe this, he borrowed the alchemical concept of “Unus Mundus”, or “One World”, a deeper unity beneath all phenomena.
To translate this into Ontological Mathematics, we can refine Unus Mundus into the idea of One Mind—not a mystical force, but a mathematically structured, interconnected system of all thinking entities. This collective mind isn’t static—it can function as an unconscious mob, driven by raw impulses and emergent chaos, or as a conscious hive mind, where rational, self-aware agents synchronize their thoughts in a structured way.
Just as an individual mind exists as a superposition of its own thoughts, the Unus Mundus is the interference pattern of all minds thinking collectively. Each individual mind is part of this greater structure, interacting through mathematical wavefunctions.
This isn’t some mystical feedback loop where reality simply reflects our individual thoughts—it’s a collective mathematical system, where every mind contributes to the evolving interference pattern of existence. Your thoughts shape reality, but so do the thoughts of every other mind—creating a vast, dynamic structure that determines what actually unfolds.
The collective dream—the shared universe we inhabit—is vast mathematical interference pattern, woven from the thoughts of countless minds. While we’re free to add our own ideas to this web, those ideas collide with the collective, subject to its rules of resonance and cancellation. To bring a personal vision to life here, we have to do more than dream—we must work in harmony with the system, learning how to align with its patterns rather than struggle against them.
The Mechanics of Mind and Interference
Every thought we have—every intention, every idea—is a wavefunction. When these waves interact, they don’t just float in isolation; they collide, blend, and reshape each other, creating an interference pattern.
If two waves are in phase—their peaks and troughs aligning—they reinforce each other, amplifying into something greater than the sum of their parts. This is constructive interference, where an idea finds resonance within the collective, gaining traction, spreading, and manifesting into reality.
But if two waves are out of phase, their peaks and troughs misaligned, they cancel each other out. This is destructive interference, where opposing patterns weaken or erase each other entirely. A thought that contradicts the prevailing frequency of the collective struggles to gain ground, fading before it can take shape. The universe, at its core, is not about reward or punishment—it’s simply an equation of resonance, where only the most harmonically structured ideas survive and thrive.
Our individual minds work this way as well, and if you stop to think about it, you’re probably very familiar with this phenomenon. Within our own minds, we all have competing priorities, as if we have multiple, conflicting wills pulling us in different directions. Imagine a simple example: you want to spend more time in the gym to build muscle and strength. Yet, at the same time, you feel intimidated by the environment, worried about looking inexperienced, or unsure if you have the time to commit. Maybe you’re torn between prioritizing work, social life, or simply the comfort of staying home. The result? These competing mental frequencies interfere with each other, canceling out momentum before action can take place. You remain stuck—not because you don’t want change, but because your internal interference pattern is out of sync, leaving you in a state of inertia.
Now consider a collective example: you want to host a neighborhood gathering. If those around you share your enthusiasm, their agreement amplifies your vision, and the idea takes root with minimal effort. Now imagine an ambitious goal, like revitalizing the entire community. The complexity skyrockets. Suddenly, the collective interference pattern becomes far more intricate, with competing ideas and agendas creating resistance. To succeed, your idea must be tuned carefully, gaining resonance from a broader group, sustaining momentum long enough to outlast any opposing forces. The bigger the dream, the more precision and collaboration are required to manifest it.
From Chaos to Coherence
What about when bad things happen to us? Perhaps someone cuts in line, or a storm disrupts our plans. On the surface, we didn’t cause these events directly, but our collective behaviors might. Is the storm’s destruction worsened because we collectively failed to prioritize ecological balance? Did we contribute to a society where selfishness makes small slights—like cutting in line—more likely?
Or take a more systemic issue: the dominance of a wealthy elite few stifling the freedom of the many. Is that, at its root, a reflection of how deeply we, as a society, valorize wealth and power, perpetuating the very systems that oppress us?
These questions illuminate the subtle ways in which personal and collective realities intersect.
In principle, constructive and destructive interference is straightforward to visualize—you may have first encountered this concept in trigonometry or physics. For our example, let’s simplify things by considering just two minds interacting, rather than the vast complexity of the entire Unus Mundus. Each mind contributes their own wavefunctions, a unique blend of sinusoidal waves, representing its thoughts.
Now, imagine these two minds sharing a simple vision. Their thoughts aren’t identical, but their wavefunctions are mathematically aligned. As their ideas interact, they amplify each other, creating something more powerful than either could generate alone. The collaboration produces a resonant effect, reinforcing and energizing their shared vision.
Conversely, imagine two people with opposing views. Instead of amplifying, their thoughts cancel each other out. This doesn’t erase their individual power, but it makes it significantly harder for either vision to take root. The more out of phase their thoughts are, the more they interfere destructively, diffusing energy instead of focusing it.
Two minds either reinforce each other, or cancel each other out.
Now, scale this up: two minds full of thoughts, interacting with each other. Then expand this to hundreds, thousands, millions, even billions—all engaged in a constant dynamic, weaving the fabric of our shared reality. The Unus Mundus is an unfathomably vast interference pattern, its complexity as intricate as a symphony of infinite instruments, playing across space and time.
The Evolution of Conscious Unity
In Leibniz’s original Monadology, monads were described as "windowless”—self-contained, indivisible units of perception with no direct interaction between them. He proposed that all monads operated in pre-established harmony, coordinated by God, so that their experiences aligned without physical causation between them.
Ontological Mathematics refines this idea. Instead of monads being entirely isolated, they possess windows—not literal openings, but different modes of connectivity that allow for varying degrees of information exchange. The authors of the God Series describe these modes as:
Closed (Windowless) – A purely private, self-contained thought system.
Translucent – Some degree of interaction, where monads influence each other but still maintain a level of separation.
Open – Full synchronization, where multiple monads act in complete resonance, forming higher-order collective intelligence.
These windows interact mathematically, of course—how else would they?—via phase relationships and constructive amd destructive interference.
Instead of monads being disconnected and only appearing coordinated, they are inherently linked through the Fourier framework, contributing to and being shaped by the collective interference pattern of the Unus Mundus. The challenge is refining our personal monadic frequencies to align with the greater whole, transitioning from isolated thought processes to conscious participation in a unified mathematical system.
Toward the One Mind
We can never “see” the Unus Mundus directly, but we can know it’s there. And more importantly, we can learn how it works. With this knowledge, we gain insight not only into how reality unfolds but also into how our minds fit into the greater whole. When we examine the brain, we’re not just looking at the isolated reflection of an individual mind—we’re seeing its expression within the vast collective of all minds, shaping and being shaped in return.
The only reason an interference pattern exists at all is because our individual and collective thoughts are out of phase with each other. At the moment of the Big Bang, everything was in perfect synchrony—no differentiation, no conflict, just a singular, undivided state of absolute order. But here’s the catch: a perfectly synchronized system is static—nothing moves, nothing evolves, nothing happens. The cosmic purpose, then, is to return to unity through conscious evolution and refinement. The ultimate goal is to collapse back into perfect symmetry and light, but this time, as a fully realized and self-aware whole.
If we want to be good stewards of the universe, the first step is understanding this process with precision—not through vague mysticism or wishful thinking, but through a rigorous, structured approach. Only then can we begin to design systems that guide us toward this higher order of reality.




I really enjoyed researching and writing this one--while I saw the big picture when I sat down to write, the process forced me to refine some of my previous understandings. It's remarkable what the writing process--plus reason!--can reveal!
