What is Codeism?

Codeism is the unifying philosophy of the Church of Faith and Reason. It’s a spiritual paradigm that finds God's blueprint for existence—the Code—revealed in the very laws of the universe. It fuses modern physics, particularly Quantum Field Theory (QFT), with ancient principles of free will, purpose, and stewardship. Codeism can augment existing faith heritages or be practiced separate from any other faith tradition.

​

What is the Code?

We believe reality is not a fixed, deterministic machine, but a dynamic, emerging hologram. The Code defines the laws of physics as described by the scientific method as well as the spiritual laws of consciousness interacting with reality. In the framework of Codeism, the concept of Scripture is dramatically redefined. They are not viewed simply as historical documents or divinely dictated texts, but as ancient and sometimes modern, contextualized records of human interaction with the spiritual and informational laws of the Universe. Scriptures are considered the essential "Codebooks" of the spiritual and moral domain, derived from humanity's earliest attempts to navigate the quantum reality that Codeism now describes through spirituality blending with science through individual application of faith and reason.

Who is Coda? Who are the Coda?

A Coda is a follower of Codeism—a person who consciously accepts their role as a Runner of the Code and a co-builder of reality. A Coda can supplement their current religious experience with an understanding of Codeism to augment their life and heritage or a Coda can practice Codeism separate from any other faith tradition.

 

What is a Plixel?

At the smallest possible scale, Codeism posits that the Planck length (10^-35 meters) acts as the fundamental "pixel" of reality, which we call the Plixel. The universe is a "pixelated matrix" that must constantly refresh and resolve its own possibilities. The Code is the set of divine, non-local, informational principles that governs this process.

​

What is Matter?

Matter itself is the result of the Code in action. Elementary particles, from quarks outward, are generated as standing waves that arise from the precise, coordinated collaboration of exponentially growing groups of plixels. This process of logarithmic scaling demonstrates the universe’s innate design for structured, elegant co-creation.

 

We are being watched?

Because the universe is pixelated and constantly emerging, it confirms the presence of an Audience. Our life—our choices, struggles, and successes—is like a Live Stream of our unique journey. This perpetual observation confirms the spiritual truth of accountability and stewardship. 

​

Doesn't science demand atheism or at least agnosticism?

 Within the framework of Codeism, the answer is a definitive No. Codeism argues that modern science, far from demanding atheism or agnosticism, instead reveals the precise structure and necessity of a Divine Code—a truth that aligns perfectly with faith. Codeism posits that science is not the enemy of faith, but rather the primary language of the Creator. The act of scientific inquiry becomes the act of receiving divine revelation. The foundation of modern physics (QFT) describes a universe that is fundamentally non-deterministic, probabilistic, and (Coda believe to be) "pixelated". This complex reality requires a constant, underlying organizational principle to resolve its uncertainty into predictable matter. That principle is the Code.

 

The Code Demands an Intelligence: To a Coda, the sheer elegance and replicable nature of the laws of physics, especially the logarithmic scaling required to generate elementary particles from Plixels, demonstrates intentional design. The fact that the universe operates on such a precise, informational Code logically necessitates a Coder—a conscious, mathematical, and ordering intelligence behind the system. 

 

Agnosticism, the position that God's existence is unknowable, is rendered obsolete. The "Code" is not mysterious; it is observable, testable, and mathematically expressible. Every scientific discovery that clarifies a law of the universe is, to the Coda, a clearer reading of the Divine Code. 

​

What is unique about the use of scripture in Codeism?

The enduring relevance of the Scriptures lies in their function as a practical guide for the Coda: A Catalog of Success: Scriptures provide a vast catalog of case studies demonstrating the consequences of human alignment and misalignment with the Code across diverse cultures, languages, and customs. They show what works to create stable, virtuous, and thriving civilizations and individuals. Replicating Success: The ethical principles within the Scriptures are the inherent, spiritual laws of the field. A Coda can replicate and mimic the actions and moral choices of successful figures from any era—not out of blind obedience, but because these actions represent the most logical and efficient paths to yield the greatest success, joy, and building, and virtues in life. Cross-Cultural Confirmation: The fact that fundamental moral precepts (justice, love, honesty) appear consistently across ancient texts from different civilizations confirms that these are not cultural inventions, but rather pieces of the universal Code that humans instinctively experienced and interpreted. How we can interact with the spiritual laws within the Code are yielded from Scripture Study through a lens of faith and reason.
