Thanks, Professor. You musings about God having a mother using
logical consistencies is similar to what mathematical biologist and
author, Clifford Pickover does frequently in his books, both fact
and fiction. Perhaps God's Mother was a Boltzmann Brain? Ah!
Another mystery infused with a mystery.
God or the Goddess cannot be a Boltzmann brain (I know you were
joking, to be sure). Why?
If God is a Boltzmann brain, that would mean that comp is true, but
then my mind has to be associated to an infinity of Boltzman brain and
well, any programs in arithmetic or in the UD*, but then the physical
reality has to be a sum on all programs, and what we see from inside
will be bigger than God (which is doubtful) and not describable in any
3p way.
God, even as seen as an "everything", is more in the mysterious aspect
of the existence and conscience of that everything. It can be the
physical universe, for an aristotelian (but this needs to assume non-
comp), and basically, that is an open problem.

My liking that God has a Mother should not be taken too much
seriously, and is related to my liking attributing the feminine to
even numbers, and a the masculine to the odd numbers, and then it is
a remind that the one (1) is enclosed by the most terrible female in
the arithmetical platonia, the number 0 (death, annihilation,
nothing), and 2 (life, division, separation, distinction, creation).
We tend to believe that God is male, because we forget that the ONE
came from the ZERO (by the successor operation of course).

At some point, you might consider, expounding on this concept of
Comp, how it does what it does, and how it informs both science and
theology. I didn't capture this in your recent book.
OK. I might give a longer response some day, but I have to go and
will just refer to both the sane paper (easily accessible, and it
contains both UDA and AUDA), and the relation with (neoplatonist)
theology is in the plotinus paper (pdf)

Good question. Apparently in comp God might have a Mother, and it
has to be a Goddess, but take this with the usual amount of grain
salts :)

So which of the 1000s of Gods people have invented, I mean

The one that you truly believe in, based upon all the study and
contemplation you can put in. Not bet upon any arbitrarily, rather
search and find faith.
To me, god is a non-answer. Where did god come from?

But God, nor his Mother, should ever be considered as an answer. As
answer that is the usual authoritative "don't ask, don't search"
attitude, i.e. the God of the gap, maintained by those who want you
to believe in their view on reality, and prevent you to search and
question them.
God is not an answer, nor a justification for any act, even the
most good one. At least not in any public way.
Bruno
So far the only ontologies that don't seem to merely push the
question back a step are ones like Bruno's comp, Russell's "theory
of nothing" or Max Tegmark's mathematical universe hypothesis.
