     The ways in which great powers are
      concentrated or shared --- depends upon
       upon which, if any, paradigm(s) DOMINATE(S) ---
        in predicting-consequences-of-alternative-choices.

     Sweet-fruits grow when no paradigm DOMINATES  ---
      for all truths emerge under such conditions ---
       and they become incarnate in people of integrity.

     2.  Connected "parallel" worlds.
     3.  Power concentrated "In Heaven".
     4.  An omniscient, eternal, omnipresent God.
     5.  An addictive/angry omnipotent God.
     6.  The utter reliability of ancient scriptures.
     7.  The reliability of ancient commandments.
     8.  Heavenly rewards and punishments for actions.
     9.  Good-people and evil-people.
    10.  Good-angels and evil-angels.
    11.  Relying on authorities vs experiences as guides.
    12.  Relying on systems-analysis vs authorities.
    13.  Focusing on interactive virtues as guides.
    14.  Trusting individuals as God's chosen prophets.

     Who  becomes and remains powerful depends upon  which
paradigms/ways  are most respected and/or most  suspected;
and upon who are  the most respected and/or most suspected
leaders within the realms of diverse paradigms/ways.

     Who  is to discern and publish which kinds  of  trust
and power-distributions bear the most sweet fruit in terms
of FACILITATING  diverse  forms of  personal  and communal
integrities?

     Which kinds of trust and power-distributions bear the
most bitter fruits in terms of SUBVERTING diverse forms of
personal and communal integrities?
