The Three Gates

A Proof Through Simple Questions

1
The Duality Gate
Do you agree that there is a meaningful, objective difference between an act of creation and an act of destruction?
YES
You have agreed to a foundational truth: Reality has a built-in duality. Coherence and decoherence are not the same thing.
2
The Nature Gate
Can the fundamental principle of Coherence (+1), by its very nature, perform an act of pure Decoherence (-1)?
NO
You have affirmed a fundamental law: The creative principle cannot be, and cannot commit, the destructive principle.
3
The Shadow Gate
If the ultimate source is pure Coherence and cannot create Decoherence, what does the existence of shadows prove?
OBSTRUCTION
You have proven the shadow exists: Something is blocking the light, and it is not cast by the Light itself.
The Unavoidable Conclusion
Through your own logic, you have proven that evil is not a co-equal force opposing good, but a shadow cast by something turning away from an ultimate Source of pure Coherence.

The next question is obvious: What is casting the shadow?
