Introduction

The Nominal paradigm is ever so incestuously twined with Technology and Politics, that not many perceive how it interacts with another behemoth from times immemorial – Religion. If Politics is the art of leveraging People's Private Preferences to rule on their behalf, Religion is the science of manipulating Public Conscience. Religion as an institution has existed and evolved for millenia. Today, and notwithstanding the Non-Denominational, ND group, Religion holds sway over an overwhelming majority in the peoples of various societies. Its history is as much interspersed with religious institutions, awe-inspiring structures and grand festivals, as it is marked by acts of violence, wars, and cruel torture. Religion, in its role as either a friend or foe of the Royalty, has influenced political rule in various continents for centuries. In fact, Religion verily shaped the society until the Industrial Revolution. However, it has, with social convergence around opportunities created by Manufacturing, Transportation, Technology and IT-enabled global finance, been relegated to a secondary role in the developed and many developing nations of the world. As the global Nominal paradigm balances itself between the technology-enabled galloping ambitions of the Right, the stability and family-oriented working middle class, and the suffering/envy-motivated protestations of the socially-impenured, and as it is increasingly confronted with sins and externalities, it is time to pause and re-think the role of religion in our society.

Prior that endeavour however, it is necessary to realize the technological aspects and socio-financial structure of Religion so one may better appreciate the issues, realize unperceived Nominal conspiracies on the Public, and perhaps, offer a resolution or two. Religion could be imagined constituted of its Institutions, its Codes & Holy books, its finances, and its heirarchy of Rulers who leverage their political influences on the minions. And though Religion is often in news for the interaction of its luminaries with the Public, and in Publicly-celebrated festivals, its influence and reach extends deep in to Language and literature, Tradition, Culture, Festivals, as well as Politics, Education, Health and Financial contexts.

Between the Devil and the Deep Sea - the 2-edged Pareto between Religion and the Nominal

By encompassing Arts, Sports, Politics, Capital markets, Bullion, Land, and Education across nations, Religion spreads its Cause in all Social 6G-6D contexts, and permits the globally-optimizing Nominal paradigm abundant opportunities to trade cross-sectionally across those contexts, across Local and RoW Nations, and over the Political Cycle as well. If the Nominal paradigm engenders social (and ESH) externalities while leveraging Technology to discount and hasten the future to the present in, and as Lumpsum PV associated with Monetizes, IPOs and Capital Appreciation, Religion offers an apposite, global Real social counter-balance to that Nominal by forcing moral and ethical tests and trade-offs with inter-life repercussions against the conveniences offered by the Nominal. This relationship could swerve from cooperation to antagonism. In its cooperative form, Religion subserves Nominal designs by balancing the excesses of the latter in the Trade sphere – where it sponsors either Religion-based Tourism, -Education or -Immigration/Emigration. Religion, through its operations, also creates an unworthy ‘Le Seconde-Laggard’ group that the Nominal finds apposite to its divisive and polarizing strategies. This potential symbiosis between Religion and the Political-Nominal is tempered by potential antagonism. Such antagonism could take the form of an ‘Religion RoW Real Bait Prerogative¹’ to interrupt the Political Cycle. The Political Coterie/Nominal paradigm, due that Religion Real Prerogative, adopts a two-faced strategy with the Religion constituency. It weighsthe Future-FV issued the Political Coterie, exploits the AO-OC issued Politicians, both socially and in the global CC-OpCy sphere, and (political-privately) leverages the FV and PV operations of Religion Gold at the FX Mirror and the Bullion to arrange a ‘Perfect-Hedge’ for itself between Gold, FX, and Bond-Equity markets². Further, and if Religion merely offers a ‘Local Nature Enjoy-ZS-Resource Gas Coin’ to the (Test-failing) ‘Le Seconde-Laggard’ masses, then the same would be at risk of being PV-exploited marginally by the Open Cycle economy in its Cycle Strategy that bands together a non-working class of Moral-Failures, and motivates a pyramid of economic activity on their ignorance, misadventures, (mal)intents, (in)actions, and false decisions. This group is either compliant or enforceable, and therefore convenient to the locally-differentiated designs of the global Nominal.

On a tangent, the modeling of Religion, with phenomena as ethereal as Soul, Inter-life and Re-incarnation on one hand, and on the other, as complex as Religious Principles, Sins and Enforces, is a particularly challenging problem. The approach taken here, that of encapsulating the multifarious goals of Religion in a virtual Cause FV Gold Repository, and modeling its various operations financially, permits a better administrative grasp of the physical-PV manifestations of Religion. Modeling Religion through FV Finance not only integrates Religion and Finance with the Real society and the Local-Global Nominal economy, but also offers the tantalizing possibility of predicting Opportunities, Budgets and physical operations at the FX Mirror, and financial operations at the Bullion and in the Bond market. The quantitative link between proseletyzation and the technological prowess of a nation as exemplified by its Patents, is particularly noteworthy for its implications as concern deep linkages between religious and national agenda. While no claim is made as regards the comprehensiveness of the model in capturing Religion in its diverse influences, the quantitative model offers a first-step toward a formal, structured appreciation of the various facets of Religion and its interactions with society.

The integration of the Nominal paradigm with the global society, including and in particular the cross-national flow of Technology and Nominal resources, has engendered global threats and opportunities. Whereas the invasive, divisive and polarizing Nominal paradigm rends the equilibrated local Real society apart, the operations and interactions of Religions from the multiple lands has the potential to, both, heal and exacerbate the Nominal by administering an AO-ZS-OC Left, Real paradigm. Administered through ‘Religion Obfuscate Pareto ZS-Bullion Cycle ZS Pareto Coins’, it offers many opportunities, streams, processes, lines and keys that facilitate an attenuation, even a pareto resolution to those social externalities that imply a larger, trade-mediated pareto for the many peoples of the world. Havala-Religion also leverage the global financial system to make inter-life FV pareto offers to selected citizens; such offers have the potential to further resolve social opportunities and dis-equilibria. The proposal above characterizes, if not anticipates, these synergistic and antagonistic interactions between the Real Religion and the Nominal paradigm into a design that offers mechanisms for, both, socially- and politically-integrated local administration, and the global interplay of religious proseletyzation. It offers a socio-economic-financial model of intra- and inter-life competiton across religions that incentivizes choice and synergism at the individual level, pareto allocations within the local socio-economy, and innovation at a macro-economic tier, to obtain a globally-pareto, racially-diverse, long-run Real-Nominal society.
