Omnipotence generates an ostensible paradox due to our limited
knowledge, where it appears that the logic of juxtapositional
contraposition, in spite of its justification by the standard truth
tables for propositional logic, becomes deductively invalid via a
semantic twist of fate. Say that entity X is defined as being
"omnipotent". Can X create a rock too heavy for X to lift? If yes, then X
is not omnipotent. If no then X is also not omnipotent. But when
omnipotence is defined as being truly transcendental in nature, that is
to say, omnipotence is the ability to transcend any logical framework,
then the paradox loses its bite. Of course transcendental arguments
then lose coherence because "anything goes".
In order to
quantify and qualify transcendence it consequently becomes necessary to
stratify transcendence/omnipotence as a system of sequentially related
meta logical variables in arbitrary logical order. AKA TIME. The exact
relationships need not be precisely defined as long as it is required
as a necessary condition that the relands are systematically and
comprehensively ordered, even though the complete network is not
tabulated down to the last quanta of information.
So we see
that the omnipotent entity X, becomes a transcendent quantum
superposition of both lifting the rock and not lifting the rock and all
possible states in between, and due to its own omnipotence, the being
X, can prevent itself from being observed. Thus it can transcend logic
and still be logically consistent. Globally transcendent and locally
parameterized via the constraints of its own stratified logical
framework.
