HEAVEN --- Recompiling Theology from First Principles
**********************************************************

.. admonition:: What is HEAVEN?

   **HEAVEN** stands for **H**\ onestly **E**\ xamining **A**\ xioms **V**\ alidating **E**\ very **N**\ arrative
   It is the constructive counterpart to :doc:`HELL </matheology/hell/index>`.
   Where HELL finds the bugs, HEAVEN is the clean rebuild from source.
   Please note that Heaven remains reserved as a term for referring to 
   whatever those dimensions of divinity are that humans cannot usually access. 
   Yet, since God does not contradict God-self, any true Heaven
   will necessarily imply some form of HEAVEN and HELL, however those may be
   implemented. If so, anyone wishing to get to Heaven might as well 
   get used to both if only to reduce the learning curve and 
   incidentally save God's Beautiful Blue Marble Earth along the way.  

Every religious tradition on Earth carries centuries of accumulated interpretation.
Some of that interpretation may have drifted from its original source --- not
through malice, but through the ordinary entropy of human communication across
generations. HEAVEN is the project of going back to first principles:
stating theological claims as formal axioms, deriving their consequences with
mathematical logic and probability theory, and checking where traditions that
have warred for centuries actually *agree* once their claims are made precise.

This matters for everyone --- not just scholars. If the world's theological
conflicts turn out to rest on naming bugs rather than genuine disagreements
about God, then a rigorous recompile could replace millennia of eschatological
warfare with common ground. That is the promise of
:doc:`mathematical theology </matheology/index>`.

The first exploration below records an AI-assisted survey of prior art, a
proposed axiom system for pan-en-theistic mathematical theology, and scriptural
arguments from Jewish, Christian, and Islamic sources for why pan-en-theism
is much closer to the revealed truth than other theological frameworks.

If you believe that it is worth replacing eschatological warfare between nuclear 
and other nations on Earth with mathematical clarity, 
then please consider :doc:`supporting this work by buying in </buy-in/index>` 
towards scaling up a ResearchCity that can actually do it (see box below).
