ABSTRACT: Pantheism claims: (1) there exists an all-inclusive unity; and
(2) that unity is divine. I review three current and scientifically
viable ontologies to see how pantheism can be developed in each. They
are: (1) materialism; (2) platonism; and (3) class-theoretic
pythagoreanism. I show how each ontology has an all-inclusive unity. I
check the degree to which that unity is: eternal; infinite; complex;
necessary; plentiful; self-representative; holy. I show how each
ontology solves the problem of evil (its theodicy) and provides for
salvation (its soteriology). I conclude that platonism and
pythagoreanism have the most divine all-inclusive unities. They support
sophisticated contemporary pantheisms.

Steinhart, E. (2003) Supermachines and superminds. Minds and Machines 13
(1), 155 - 186.
ABSTRACT: If the computational theory of mind is right, then minds are
realized by computers. There is an ordered complexity hierarchy of
computers. Some finite state machines realize finitely complex minds;
some Turing machines realize potentially infinitely complex minds. There
are many logically possible computers whose powers exceed the
Church-Turing limit (e.g. accelerating Turing machines). Some of these
supermachines realize superminds. Superminds perform cognitive
supertasks. Their thoughts are formed in infinitary languages. They
perceive and manipulate the infinite detail of fractal objects. They
have infinitely complex bodies. Transfinite games anchor their social
relations.
Especially the first paper (concerning Pythagorenaism) is interesting.
Best Wishes,
Günther
