A pioneering numerical synthesist, Mogul elaborated a groundbreaking way to interpret the natural world. Mogul recognized that mathematics was merely a sequence of tautologies, e.g. 4 is simply 4 regardless of the intentions of 1+3 or 2+2. In short, mathematics is a tedious sack of pleonastic wank.

However, as mathematics is a grounded abstraction of the physical world, Mogul proposed that this world must also be tautological. Mogul transposed the hard facts of mathematics on to the most fluid existential domain, the socio-psychological. He argued that socio-psychological phenomena such as free-will and consciousness are merely convenient descriptions; they have no explanatory potential as it is impossible to conceive of quantitative fluctuations of these products. For example, an ‘increase’ of consciousness would lead humanity into the realm of insentient omniscience; a ‘decrease’ of consciousness would lead humanity into the realm of hedgehogs. Consciousness can only ever be consciousness. We have attained a level of consciousness sufficient to label it thus, but can never realise a reflexive vantage point that would enable us to generate value statements vis a vis the aforementioned. Therefore, man cannot free himself from the tautological is of existence. The word ‘exist’ itself is condemned to a kind of ephemeral non-existence, located somewhere between verb and noun.

Mogul’s interpretance inevitably generated a self-negating anthropic principle of thought which stated that ‘thinking is pointless as existence cannot escape the tautology of existence.’

He went mad at the age of 25.
