God as the Master of Information: Divine Causation and the Purpose of Reality

Abstract

Abstract: This paper explores the idea of God as the “Master of Information,” asserting that the divine is the ultimate source and organizer of all information that shapes reality. Instruction, as a subset of information, is a process by which divine knowledge is applied or interpreted by sentient beings. The paper argues that God’s influence is not limited to human affairs but extends throughout existence, with God shaping the very structure, meaning, and relevance of all information. Human alignment with this divine order, through understanding and interpreting information in its correct context, is essential for aligning human will with God’s greater purpose. The paper concludes that the role of God as the Master of Information provides a framework for understanding human freedom, moral alignment, and the ongoing process of discovery.
