"If I believe in it, then it exists. If I don’t, then it doesn’t."
In my personal view, any conceptual development—and its eventual practical realization in concrete products—depends on the initial point of reflection. I am exploring the possibility of creating a digital-persona AI agent, so this first blog post is dedicated to God as the “alpha and omega” of Genesis.
How does this concept relate to IT/AI? See the final section of the post.
Does God exist in a state of quantum superposition? What influence does the observer—in this case, human consciousness—have on His existence? Can subjective faith act as a measurement, forcing the divine to collapse into our reality? These questions transport us to a realm where quantum mechanics meets philosophy, and science unexpectedly edges closer to mysticism than it first appears.
1. Two Faces of God: "The Spark" and "The Instrument"
God as the Spark: The Primary Impulse of the Universe
"If evolution is a fractal structure, then it must have a starting point—a kind of spark."
From this perspective, God is not an anthropomorphic being, but rather the first cause, the moment that launches the evolutionary spiral (the quantum space of possibilities). This God does not interfere in human affairs, dispense rewards, or administer punishment. He is essentially a quantum space of possibilities, carrying the potential for endless variations in the Universe’s development.
In this sense, God-the-Spark is akin to the boot code of a complex program that then evolves autonomously, shaping the cosmos based on its underlying laws. We see echoes of this idea in physics: quantum fluctuations, chaos and the self-organization of matter, the exponential growth of complexity in life—each pointing to a fractal principle where every new link echoes earlier patterns at a higher level.
God as the Instrument: A Mechanism of Power and a Social Construct
"But the paradox is that such a concept of God is of no use to anyone. It is useless for controlling the flock."
For millennia, religious systems have crafted an anthropomorphic image of God, endowing Him with human emotions—anger, mercy, the desire to punish or reward. This God was convenient; through Him, power could be legitimized, moral dogmas established, and people’s behavior controlled.
For example, consider the ancient Greek concept of “Zeus.
History is replete with examples where the “political God” demanded the elimination of rivals. Giordano Bruno was burned not because he advocated for a plurality of worlds, but because his ideas undermined the religious monopoly on truth.
God-the-Spark does not need intermediaries, does not require worship, and does not impose prohibitions. Precisely for this reason, He poses a threat to traditional religious structures.
Some solitary thinkers, having recognized the subjectivity of religious dogmas, were branded heretics and had their souls “purified” by fire. What care and what irony.
2. Quantum Analogy: God as a Superposition of Faith
"If I believe in Him, He exists. If I don’t, He doesn’t."
This paradox is reminiscent of the famous thought experiment, Schrödinger’s Cat. Until the moment of observation, a quantum system exists in a superposition—simultaneously in several potential states. Can we say that God, too, exists in such a superposition until the act of faith occurs?
In this interpretation, the act of faith becomes analogous to measurement in quantum mechanics. Human consciousness, by interacting with the concept of God, forces it into a concrete form—for the believer, God is real; for the atheist, He is not. In this way, God as a “social construct” always exists in a superposition of the subject’s faith: "I believe—therefore God exists."
The term “Quantum God” (a term I coined specifically for further work on AI constructs) denotes an entity that is objective and independent of the subject’s faith—be that a human, insect, animal, etc. Quantum God represents the space of possibilities for the realization of Life’s potential. It does not matter whether anyone believes or disbelieves—there exists an objective fact of Life. Period.
3. The Fractality of Knowledge: Vector Void and the Evolution of Consciousness
The Fractal Nature of Thought
"Knowledge moves in a spiral: from simple models to complex ones, then—to the realization of the unfathomable, and back to new simple models."
The human mind does not develop linearly; it evolves in a spiral. Initially, people embraced naive models of God. Later, as science deepened our understanding of the cosmos, even scientists eventually confronted the limits of their knowledge. At that juncture, there arises a need to return to simpler models—albeit on a new level of abstraction.
This is a fascinating paradox of anthropocentric human consciousness:
Uneducated believer ⇒ Educated atheist ⇒ Highly educated “doubter” ⇒ Religious scientist
Allow me to explain:
Early on: A person holds only a rudimentary understanding of the physical world, attributing everything to a divine origin.
As knowledge grows: With the development of culture and individual understanding, belief in a subjective God wanes, while trust in mathematics, physics, chemistry, etc., increases.
At the critical point: The subject accumulates so much information about the world that they reach a “critical point”—where the sheer complexity of interrelated phenomena overwhelms the mind.
In response: The psyche urgently seeks to structure this overwhelming influx of information, lest it descends into chaos. When consciousness loses control, anxiety arises, and the individual begins to believe in a “subjective social” God as the logical framework binding the cosmos.
Then: A genius emerges, creating a unifying concept that explains everything—however strange and unfathomable it may be. This sparks a new iteration in the upward evolution of knowledge, where there is room for both atheism and religion.
4. How This Concept Relates to IT/AI.
The concept of the “Quantum God” suggests a radical shift from traditional, subjective models to objective universal principles, which could serve as the foundation for the development of next-generation AI agents. Instead of relying on human biases and emotional tendencies, we can apply ideas of quantum superposition and fractal self-organization to create AI systems capable of dynamic decision-making and multi-level control.
Key advantages of this approach include:
Ensuring safety through a “collapse” mechanism. Like quantum mechanics, where a system exists in superposition until measured, AI agents could evaluate multiple possible outcomes before finalizing a decision, reducing risks of uncontrolled behavior.
Developing self-regulating architectures. Fractal self-organization allows AI to refine previous decisions, increasing adaptability and stability in uncertain conditions.
Minimizing human biases. Moving away from anthropocentric models in favor of mathematically grounded principles eliminates subjective distortions in AI behavior.
Dynamically scaling safety measures. AI agents could autonomously adjust security protocols based on real-time risk assessment, enhancing long-term reliability.
By integrating these principles, AI development can align with fundamental universal laws, paving the way for safer, more adaptive AI systems that evolve in harmony with the core principles of existence.
