God, the notion, (not a special theory) is defined by whatever is responsible 
for us to exist, with perhaps a body, but certainly consciousness.

With the Mechanist hypothesis, God can be defined by the arithmetical truth, 
that you can represent as the set of (Model number) or the true arithmetical 
proposition.

By Tarski theorem, that set is not definable in arithmetic. 
By Gödel’s theorem, that set is highly not computable.

So, we get a common theological point (common to many traditions) which is that 
God is not a nameable thing. The term “god” is a substantiva pointing to the 
notion, but is not a definition per se (of course).

A Lôban machine is a universal machine which knows that she is universal. 
Typical example is any (sound) machine believing in addition and multiplication 
of natural numbers, + the induction axioms, like PA, ZF, ...

In the arithmetical reality, to derive physics, we need to take all encodings.

The structure arise from the laws of addition and multiplication, only.
Or from abstraction and application, if you start from the lambda terms, or the 
combinators.
You can take the game of life patterns, … Any universal system would do 
(universal in the sense of Turing, Church, …).

It exists in the arithmetical reality, a bit like the complex distribution of 
prime numbers is determined by the arithmetical axioms.

Nothing more than arithmetic is assumed (with mechanism at the meta-level to 
make the relation with consciousness).

The shorter and smallest theory I use often is the two axioms Kxy = x, and Sxyz 
=xz(yz). See the combinators recent thread(s).

We are the same person, yes. But that identity will belong to G* \ G, so I have 
not the right to say this, actually.
But the body is different. The body is just a word. The physical body is the 
word which arise from the sum on all computations, below our substitution 
level. It is word written in the biochemical language, apparently.
