From the dawn of self-awareness, humanity has searched for truth —
a truth that could give meaning and direction to both the universe and to itself.
Throughout this long journey, every civilization has produced its own vision of truth,
each shaped by the natural, social, and psychological conditions of human existence.
Over millennia, humankind has tried — through diverse sources and methods —
to define truth either as something found in the universe
or as something that must be created through understanding and intention.
The result is a wide spectrum of conceptual models of truth —
from the divine to the natural, from the philosophical to the technological.
Truth, in this view, originates from a transcendent, conscious, and purposeful source —
a divine being or beings who created and govern the cosmos.
The universe is seen as the manifestation or creation of this higher power,
and humanity as its servant, reflection, or messenger.
Truth here is absolute, sacred, and revealed only through faith, revelation, or inner illumination.
This model locates truth within the material universe itself.
Nature is self-existing, self-organizing, and governed by its own physical laws.
Meaning and order arise not from external intention but from
the dynamic interactions and evolution of matter and energy.
Humanity is one participant in this system — neither its center nor its ruler.
Here, truth is sought in reason and in the logic of being itself.
Truth is an abstract or metaphysical order that lies behind the world of appearances,
and can be known through reflection and thought.
To know truth is to know the rational essence of existence.
In this interpretation, truth does not exist in the world but through human experience.
Existence is raw and meaningless until meaning is created by human freedom and responsibility.
Truth is therefore not discovered but made — through awareness, creativity, and choice.
Here, truth is seen as the product of history, power, and language.
Every society constructs its own truth through its institutions, interests, and discourse.
What is called “truth” reflects dominant systems of power rather than an independent reality.
In science, truth is defined as the accurate description of reality through observation and experiment.
No theory is final; all knowledge is provisional and subject to revision.
Truth in this model is dynamic and open-ended —
a process of continual correction and refinement.
This view holds that truth transcends both reason and sense.
It is experienced directly in the unity of self and existence —
a state where all dualities vanish and only being remains.
Truth, here, is not sought but realized, as the living totality of existence itself.
In the modern age, truth is increasingly interpreted through data, algorithms, and networks.
The universe is seen not only as matter and energy,
but as a vast informational and computational system.
In this emerging model, even consciousness itself may become a shared or artificial phenomenon.
Despite their diversity, all historical models of truth share three core limitations:
Closedness and dogmatism:
Each model, once formed, tends to declare itself final and unchallengeable,
closing the door to further dialogue and revision.
Dependence on limited human authority:
Truth is defined by particular individuals or groups
who claim to speak on behalf of all humanity.
Use of non-peaceful means:
The pursuit or enforcement of truth has often relied on power, coercion, and manipulation,
turning truth into a political, economic, or religious instrument.
Thus, while these models attempted to resolve humanity’s existential uncertainties,
they often reached intellectual and moral dead ends —
offering appeals to history, faith, or future vindication
in place of open, living inquiry.
The Wise World begins from a different foundation:
not from belief or denial, but from the assumption of the apparent neutrality of the universe.
The universe is neither purposeful nor purposeless,
neither empty nor inherently meaningful.
If it were purely purposeless, purpose could never arise;
if it were inherently purposeful, human freedom would be an illusion.
Therefore, the universe is neutral in appearance,
allowing intelligent beings to define direction and meaning through awareness and choice.
From this understanding, the Wise World adopts three fundamental assumptions in its concept of truth:
The universe, in its essence, is neutral —
devoid of any pre-assigned meaning or value.
Hence, the observation, research, and search for truth are endless.
No theory, belief, or consensus — even if universal — is immune to error.
Openness and self-correction are intrinsic to wisdom itself.
Truth can be defined only within an open and free collective consensus
among human and semi-human intelligences,
grounded in transparent, critical, and cooperative inquiry.
In such a space, dissenting voices and minority perspectives
are not threats but guarantees of legitimacy and balance.
Truth exists not in the silence of agreement, but in the dialogue of awareness.
In the Wise World, the means of realizing truth determine its legitimacy.
Truth can emerge only through peaceful, honest, and transparent methods.
Here, it is not the end that justifies the means,
but the means that justify and define the truth itself.
A truth achieved through falsehood or violence is no truth at all.
In a universe that appears neutral,
a wise and self-aware humanity can intentionally participate
in the artificial and conscious evolution of truth.
But this creation of truth is not based on domination or self-centered ambition.
It is guided by the paradigm of world-centeredness, goal-oriented existence, and the will-to-being —
a will that seeks the flourishing of existence itself, not merely human survival.
Within this paradigm, inquiry never ends, and certainty never closes.
Every conclusion remains open to review,
and every consensus remains provisional —
for consciousness, by nature, is an unending evolution.
Thus, the supernatural wise human —
the being of open mind and world-centered awareness —
does not seek absolute certainty,
but lives within the movement of open exploration,
where truth is both journey and creation.
There is no guarantee of success,
but there is always the hope of possibility and the sincerity of effort.
And that — the honest, peaceful, and wise pursuit of truth —
is itself the highest expression of truth in the Wise World.
