Allow me to define God as the cause of all causes.
God = cause(cause(cause(cause(...))))
This is similar to child who continuously asks the question why? The seed can be anything. Why is the sky blue? Simply keep asking why and you'll arrive at the answer 'because God!'. God is even the cause of himself. Mathmaticians would call this the fixed point or eigenvalue of the cause function.
God = cause(God)
But recursive definitions in this form do little to help elucidate the essence of that which we are defining and similarly in math there are methods for removing the recursion. Allow us to define a new function, G
G(X) = cause(X(X))
this function acts on its argument by making a reflection(copy) of it and determining the cause of this interaction.
Now we simply feed G into itself:
G(G) = cause(G(G))
Look closely and you'll see G(G) is the fixed point of the cause function and we can continuously replace G(G) with cause(G(G))
G(G) = cause(cause(G(G)))
G(G) = cause(cause(cause(G(G))))
G(G) = cause(cause(cause(cause(cause...
G(G) = God
...
So we have that God is now G(G) but what to make of this? I've come to realize that what the G function does is reflect an object back on itself and essentially take a snapshot of the cause and effect of the self reflection. When we invoke G with itself we are essentially holding up two mirrors to themselves and taking a snapshot of the infinite reflection.
