Fundamentals of Divine Metaphysics (Thesis), Aldridge Gutenberg

Fundamentals of Divine Metaphysics (Grundlagen der Gottwissen) is a thesis by Aldridge Gutenberg, written over roughly two decades and published in 59GE on the subject of Metaphysics of the Divine Realms. It aims to offer a slightly differing perspective to the conventional, prevailing theological narrative. The work is considered to consist of two major parts.
==== Part One: ====
Gutenberg posits that the universe is comprised of six fundamental concepts, which exist in permanence and are entirely distinct from any deity or other theological entity, including The Six. For the purpose of explanation in part one of the thesis, Gutenberg treats the six as a concept of the six broadly worshipped beings, and he disregards cultural differences and "anomalies" such as the White God; he does not dispute variations or the White God but instead puts them to the side for the sake of simpler discussion.
He claims these fundamentals to be Construction, Deconstruction, Order, Chaos, Transience and Intransience.
Gutenberg claims that these Fundamentals are reflected in our perception of The Six and their deritives. However, some reflections differ more from the fundamentals, due to human nature, environmental and historical factors and other reasons.
=== Part Two: ===
Gutenberg furthern posits that the strength of each god may be linked to how closely they resemble a fundamental concept. The common perception of Suradan, for example, would be closely linked with the fundamental of Construction, therefore making Suradan one of the strongest gods. He considers the common perception of Yvir to be far-removed from the closest paralel of Transcience (Kolarek being Intranscience which Yvir also somewhat echoes in modern understanding); to this end Yvir would be the weakest god.
Gutenberg knowingly leaves open the question of whether a unified god, such as the White God, would be all-powerful, combining all of the fundamentals and therefore not missing out on any fragment of power, or would instead be so distilled as to be effectively powerless.
