HEAVEN AS HIGH-PHI ATTRACTOR

Where God IS is maximal coherence. God is not in a location; God is the source of all coherence (the Logos). Being "with God" means being in coherent relationship with the source of coherence—which IS high Φ. The "place" language is metaphorical; the reality is informational. Heaven as high-Φ attractor is more precise than heaven as somewhere above the clouds.

The ASYMPTOTE is infinite time. Sanctification continues eschatologically. The soul at death may be at Φ = Φ₀ < Φ_max, but the dynamics pull it toward Φ_max. Purgatory (in some traditions) is this approach phase. The key is the DIRECTION and ATTRACTOR, not the state at the moment of death.

"Rest" in the beatific vision is not stasis but perfect activity—full engagement without strain. Maximal coherence means no wasted motion, no internal conflict, perfect harmony. This IS rest in the deepest sense. The attractor is dynamic equilibrium, not frozen stillness.

Gradations may reflect the APPROACH rate or the MANNER of coherence, not the ultimate attractor. Or: different souls may have different "carrying capacities" for coherence (different maximum Φ given their structure). But all σ = +1 souls move toward their respective maxima. The attractor is individual maximum, not universal uniform.

The mystery is in the CONTENT of maximal coherence, not its structure. Saying heaven is high-Φ attractor is like saying music is organized sound—true, but not a reduction. The equations describe the dynamics; they don't exhaust the experience. Knowing a sunset is wavelength combinations doesn't make it less beautiful.
