Essays on Advaita Vedanta as design

Twelve essays that read Advaita Vedanta as software design. Debugging is neti neti, the Upanishadic method of negation. A wrong abstraction is adhyasa, a snake seen on a rope.

Three phases, the Practice, the Design and the Ground, about 20,000 words in all. Each essay rests on one source and has a text-to-speech reading, about two hours across the twelve. A study drawer on each holds the source verses and the reasoning.

Every essay says where its mapping stops.

why it exists

What is real, and how much of it can be known. The Upanishads have asked that for 2,500 years, and engineers ask it on call.

ekam reads the question as design, not as religion.

what it taught

Some mappings are tight, some looser, and the essays say which.

The method of negation fails on a race that shows up one time in a thousand. Jnana, the fourth essay, says its own source "over-claims here."
