A Summary of Some Intelligent Design Results for the Type II "Intelligent Agent" Interpretation .
[I must stress that the following "intelligent agent" interpretation is but one of many. The GGU-model can be interpreted in a purely physical manner. It can be truncated at various levels and this leads to an interpretation that implies that any intelligent design signature is but illusion. As with most scientific theories, the GGU-model can also be interpreted theologically. These facts signify that each individual has a specific choice as to the appropriate interpretation. In general, an individual investigates actual philosophic or physical evidence that verifies an interpretation.]
The proper definition for "intelligent design" is not the one that appears throughout much of the public domain that concludes that some aspects of "nature" appear to have significance purposes and are too complex to be formed by known natural processes over required time spans. For this "definition," the notion of what constitutes "intelligent" design is not specifically defined via scientific means. The correct definition is the one that I purposed originally as the general intelligent design (GID) interpretation for the GGU-model. "Processes as modeled by mathematical operators produce universes, and physical-systems and physical-system behaviors within these universes. If these processes display certain signatures, then the universes, the physical-systems and their behaviors are intelligently deigned. These signatures display significance characteristics that model intelligent thought processes."
The terms that appear below and that may be unfamiliar to you are defined completely in my book "Science Declares Our Universe IS Intelligently Designed" (Xulon Press). This includes such terms or phrases as intelligence, higher intelligence, physical-systems, ultralogics, ultranatural and many more. Many of these definitions closely follow the intuitive and most basic dictionary definitions. For example, the "ultra" means "beyond the usual or ordinary." How much "beyond" is fully described in the book. Everything in this summary is predicted mathematically using as hypotheses the most common features of human thought. There are no additional philosophic or theological assumptions made. There is no "hand waving." All results are obtained by strict mathematical reasoning, where the mathematics itself is not in this book but available in published journal form or from the arXiv.org Archives. The following are scientifically rational statements for which there is a vast amount of indirect evidence.
(1) A higher intelligence has designed unifications for all of the physical theories that govern the behavior for each physical-system within our universe. These unifications use an intelligently designed process that coordinates all such physical theories as well as most perturbed behavior not predicted by these theories.
(2) Specific physical-system behavior that is predicted by physical theories is designed by a higher intelligence. When this higher intelligence is restricted to our physical world, it exhibits many of the same properties as exhibited by human intelligence.
(3) The behavior of a physical-system that appears to behave in a random manner but follows a specific probabilistic model is designed by a higher intelligence. There is a higher intelligence that coordinates all such physical-systems that behave in this manner.
(4) There is an intelligently designed process that yields an underlying unification for all developing physical-systems for various universes. For a specific universe, there is within this intelligently designed process regularities that guide or uphold the development of each physical-system.
(5) A higher intelligence has designed a process that coordinates all perturbations that are not coordinated by the process in (1).
(6) In general, intelligent agents sustain or guide all physical-system behavior.
