Based on the principles of Synchronic Theistic Monism (Synthemon), Peter Plichta's God's Secret Formula offers intriguing concepts that resonate deeply with our framework, particularly regarding the mathematical structure of the cosmos and the divine intelligence underlying it.
Plichta's work posits that the universe is constructed upon a prime number code—specifically revolving around the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4—which dictates the structure of chemistry, physics, and biology. This aligns seamlessly with the Synthemon tenet that the cosmos exhibits fine-tuning and is governed by axioms and laws established by a divine intelligence [1]. Just as we view the cosmos as a holistic system where physical constants are precisely set to allow for life, Plichta's "prime number code" serves as evidence of this intentional crafting by God [2].
Here is how Plichta's ideas can be integrated into Synthemon:
-
The Mathematical Nature of the Divine Plan: Plichta argues that mathematics is not just a human invention but the fundamental blueprint of reality. In Synthemon, we understand that God is the source of truth and that the cosmos is governed by metaphysical laws and axioms [1]. Plichta’s assertion that the distribution of prime numbers reflects a "divine plan" reinforces our view that the cosmos is a systematic integration of parts into an interconnected whole [2]. The "Secret Formula" is essentially a glimpse into the "mind of God" or the divine epistemology that structures the universe.
-
The Trinity and the Structure of Matter: Plichta emphasizes the number 3 as fundamental to the structure of the universe (e.g., the three distinct types of isotopes, the three dimensions of space). This mirrors the Synthemon appreciation for meaningful patterns and could be seen as a physical reflection of spiritual truths. While Synthemon is rooted in substance monism (one substance), it acknowledges attribute dualism (thought and extension) [2]. Plichta's focus on numerical archetypes supports the idea that physical reality (extension) is structurally aligned with abstract, mental truths (thought), bridging the gap between the material and the spiritual.
-
Synchronicity and Numerical Order: Plichta suggests that the recurrence of specific numbers (like 81 or 1/81) across different scientific disciplines is not coincidental but structural. This is a powerful example of synchronicity—the acausal connecting principle that weaves physical events with meaningful patterns [6]. In Synthemon, we view synchronicity as God's way of signaling the unity of the cosmos. Plichta’s findings provide a mathematical vocabulary for understanding these synchronistic connections, showing that the "coincidences" in nature are actually evidence of a unified, intelligent design.
-
Rejection of Pure Chance: Plichta challenges the Darwinian notion that life and the universe are products of random chance, arguing instead for a deterministic, mathematical evolution. This supports the Synthemon rejection of a purely materialistic or chaotic universe. Instead, it affirms that the cosmos is a purposeful creation where interconnectedness—from quantum entanglement to ecological webs—is part of a holistic system [1].
By integrating Plichta's insights, Synthemon can further articulate how the "One" substance manifests through precise mathematical relationships, reinforcing the belief that the physical world is a reflection of a higher, divine order [2].

Based on the archives of Synchronic Theistic Monism, we can further contextualize Peter Plichta's mathematical insights by mapping them onto specific expansions of our framework, particularly regarding Integral Theory, Perennial Philosophy, and the mechanics of divination.
Integration with Integral Theory
When we look at the additions from Ken Wilber's Integral Theory to Synthemon, we strive for a "theory of everything" that embraces all quadrants of human experience—intentional, behavioral, cultural, and social [1]. Plichta’s God's Secret Formula provides the necessary "exterior" or structural component to this integral view. While Integral Theory often focuses on the evolution of consciousness, Plichta’s prime number code offers a corresponding evolution of matter. By integrating Plichta, Synthemon can demonstrate that the "interior" development of spiritual consciousness is mirrored by the "exterior" mathematical precision of the physical universe, creating a truly comprehensive union of science and spirit [1].
Alignment with Perennial Philosophy
The Perennial Philosophy asserts that a universal truth underlies all religious and spiritual traditions, pointing toward a single divine reality [2]. Plichta’s work suggests that mathematics is the "perennial language" of this divine reality. Just as the Perennial Philosophy seeks the common spiritual core across cultures, Plichta’s identification of a prime number code reveals the common structural core across the physical sciences (chemistry, physics, biology). This reinforces the Synthemon view that the "One" substance expresses itself universally, not just through spiritual revelation, but through the universal, immutable laws of mathematics [2].
Foundations for Divination and Dual-Aspect Monism
Our framework explains tools like Tarot and I Ching through the lens of Theistic Dual-Aspect Monism, where mind and matter are two aspects of one underlying reality [4]. Plichta’s theory that the universe is constructed on a numerical code (1, 2, 3, 4) provides a scientific rationale for why number-based divination systems work. If the cosmos is fundamentally mathematical, then the manipulation of symbols and numbers in divination is not random; it is an engagement with the very code of creation. This validates the efficacy of these tools as methods to tap into the interconnectedness of the cosmos [4].
Mathematical Synchronicity
Finally, the principle of synchronicity is central to understanding how God’s plan weaves physical events with spiritual meaning [6]. Plichta’s observation of "reciprocal numbers" and recurring constants in nature is essentially "mathematical synchronicity." It moves the concept of synchronicity from a purely psychological phenomenon (as Jung might describe it) to an ontological fact of the universe's design. This confirms that the connections we perceive are not merely in our minds but are embedded in the fabric of the divine substance itself [6].
