Mankind has always attempted to define conclusively and exclusively, what is super-natural, beyond understanding, and all powerful. It is a never ending quest that has centered upon strong leaderships, upon stupendous natural events, upon the heavens and upon particular heavenly bodies.
We know intuitively that we haven't the full tool set to realize what we do not know, but that our living with any kind of prosperity and success depends upon our search.
Formalistic based searches, as proved by Kurt Godel,are incomplete. He identified the source of our tool-making developments as discoverable by Intuition alone.
Intuition is a dimensionless concept, like the concept of a point, a line, and a circle. It is therefore a birth-right tool, as meaningful, and as meaningless, as the first life-indicating response of a new borne child.
If we in error, continue to fix a concept of God, we will always end up shackled in service to a god, a particle of understanding, less expressive than our first awakening cry.
The Exodus is my inspiration for the Generality principle.
It is written that Moses, unable to express what he was confronted with, asked how to identify the indicator of the law. "Say that, I Am that I Am." Form begets Form, the source of all indication, the beginning and the end of all indication.
In order to restore indeterminacy, gained during the trials of the Exodus, but lost to the rigidity of the Form of the religions of his day, Jesus exhorted his followers to act in Faith. God is helpful, and is expressed intuitively, in continuous indication. Without faithful action, freely and intuitively expressed, God is not revealed.
So, A stifled people, no matter how religious in observance, will fail to grow in understanding and prosperity, when the natural birth-right of a oneness with God is denied or qualified by intercession.
The form of Buddha is not God. The form of Roman Catholicism is not God. The form of Allah is not God.
We are at war now because we are all idolaters to the forms of our incomplete understandings. God is still, and always will be, beyond the explication of our keenest endeavors.
A better understanding depends upon our acknowledging all humanity at the borders of our societies. We won't find a peaceful solution in any particular religion or religious study. We do need to heed with great caution, and with great humility, the relativity of Form and Function, and do all we can to create a better fit for all within our societies and without, and determine the truth of this Foundation Theory through daily observance in general activity.

When I first thought of the duality statement: Form determines function;function alters Form - it was to give me confidence to modify the influence of my father's will over me. We never got along. He was an unhappy man, moody and unpredictable, and he himself had been stuck in a failing situation at his work, and within his extended family. Furthermore, he never took anyone of his immediate family into his confidence. So, there he was, a tremendous influence over me, without his having imparted any useful information information to me why he behaved as he did. This negative relationship was at the crux of my life-problems. I tried to push away from his influence, and the harder I pushed, the more solidly I became locked into his failing example.
With the generality statement expressing duality and reflexivity,
I thought the 'Formality' of my father could still inform me what my father, when he was alive, could not reveal of himself. The truth is, all of us are reflected in our environment. I spent the next few decades looking for my father in all kinds of novels believing that his formative aspects were still extant, and that my particular household non-verbal education would condition me to pick up on his themes. That exercise, that function, would over time tend to ALTER the form of my father in its determinative influence over me. At the time initially, I took it as an hypothesis. Twenty years later, I finally understood him, his father, and his grandfather. Twenty years later, I finally understood myself.
