230. good conjecture- but i will have to balk
on your hypothesis that this intrinsic fundimental building block has any 'goodness' let alone some plausible sense of reason. If you are looking for a true fundimental (which you are) goodness and reason are too complex to fit the criteria. I do see where you're leaning and even Whitehead made the theoligical mistake. But he stood to correct himself, he was, or at least wanted to maintain his theism. I don't think he ever answered his own question, but i do believe he answered THE question, in that, the appetition of feeling is the concrescence between the physical and mental poles of the universe, nothing more; and there is nothing less. This would also dictate social behavior up through the strata of consciousness and keep atoms together in one shot, that is one true test of a fundimental principle. In this infinitely small and simple nexus (even living) i cannot see room for any kind of complex deity
