Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe

From Religions Wiki

The Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe, or "CTMU" for short, is a philosophical theory of the relationship between mind and reality. Material regarding the theory was first published by Christopher Michael Langan in the High-IQ Society journal "Noesis" in 1989, with a comprehensive explanation being published in the peer-reviewed journal "Progress in Complexity, Information and Design" in 2002. Langan is widely reported as "the smartest man in America" and currently lives in Missouri operating a horse ranch while continuing to publish work regarding his theory, including three papers in the peer-reviewed journal "Cosmos and History".

This is an excerpt from the 1998 supplementary "Introduction to the CTMU":

"In the Cognitive-Theoretic Model of the Universe or CTMU, the set of all sets, and the real universe to which it corresponds, take the name (SCSPL) of the required extension of set theory. SCSPL, which stands for Self-Configuring Self-Processing Language, is just a totally intrinsic, i.e. completely self-contained, language that is comprehensively and coherently (self-distributively) self-descriptive, and can thus be model-theoretically identified as its own universe or referent domain. Theory and object go by the same name because unlike conventional ZF or NBG set theory, SCSPL hologically infuses sets and their elements with the distributed (syntactic, metalogical) component of the theoretical framework containing and governing them, namely SCSPL syntax itself, replacing ordinary set-theoretic objects with SCSPL syntactic operators."
