But it is actually a definition of God (despite your lack of belief).
Can you state why it is a definition of what you put forward, and why it isn't a definition of God?
Because the word God is a metaphor for Potential.
You don't seem to understand the definition, choosing to see it as something that suits you. I have to say in this case, yes.
No, you don't understand the definition this is a Universal constant, which can be demonstrated scientifically.
Maybe. But not in this scenario.
Especially in this context of your scenario.
I quickly typed Universal Potential into google and it yielded no direct results.
I did find a Wiki definition of ''Potential Energy''.
The first line says; In physics, potential energy is energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position relative to others, stresses within itself...
It is one of the applications and proofs of the existence of Potential.
Maybe this isn't the same thing as what you term UPO, but it becomes clear that the potential is the energy in an existing body, in relation to other existing bodies.
''Brahman'' is not dependent on physical bodies, meaning it isn't potential of any kind. It is what it is, by it's own conscious will. jan.
That illustrates your lack of depth in abstract thinking and limited understanding of its Implications. Universal Potential is not dependent on physical bodies either. It can exist as a unformed condition of latent mathematical abilities inherent in the fabric of spacetime. And finally, Potential precedes even the existence of a god.
Potential is "that which may become reality", meaning that while not all potential becomes expressed in reality, all reality past, present, and future was, is, and will be preceded by Potential, even the concept of your God.
IOW, without Potential there can be no Implicate, without a potential Implication (probability), there can be no expression in reality.
God, by any other name are the well meaning, but ignorant metaphors for pure potential, which orders itself in hierarchical orders, ranging from the unmeasurable subtle to expression in our limited view of reality itself. This process is mathematical and only obeys to the laws of mathematical hierarchy of Orders.
