Abstract

Faith and Health. Some thing is encapsulated in each. But what? We know these abstractions, and this chapter shows how each can be illuminated by abstract mathematics. Category Theory is mathematical frame that wraps an identity around an abstraction. Using Category Theory, we gain tools to clarify their identities. Faith and Health, each contain a morphing that is their power to fill lives. Understanding the transitioning of objects that is essential to each, it is possible to know where to begin, how to grow these, and what to assess in morphing these identities. With this insight, when coupled with SEED-SCALE, a peer-reviewed method of social direction, it is possible then go to where these centralities of life call each of us, guided (surprisingly) with peer-reviewed, rigour from higher mathematics and societal scholarship.
