Science answers how the world works, but knowledge alone does not become an object of love, fidelity, and shared identity. Traditional religion creates that bond, yet often attaches it to explanations that can no longer be treated as true.
Scientific religion in Aletophany is an attempt to preserve the function while abandoning the immunity of ancient explanations. Its sacred object is not dogma but truth; its practice is inquiry, moral self-observation, and the creation of relations that sustain developing subjects.
This is among the boldest and least complete nodes on the map. We still need to separate religion as a human institution from the wider need of a living mind to connect its picture of reality with values. The missing future chapters are especially visible here.
