Dimension-by-Dimension Evidence
What each persona's writings reveal about their stance on each of the six dimensions.
Time
Bahá'u'lláh (Mírzá Ḥusayn-ʻAlí Núrí)
Linear and progressive — Bahá'í teaching reads religious history as the unfolding of a single revelation across successive stages of human maturity. Non-deterministic — human action genuinely matters for the arrival of the foretold global unity.
Space
Bahá'u'lláh (Mírzá Ḥusayn-ʻAlí Núrí)
Global — the unification of the world's peoples is the substantive task. The Bahá'í World Centre in Haifa-Akká institutionalises this in space.
Matter
Bahá'u'lláh (Mírzá Ḥusayn-ʻAlí Núrí)
Emergent from divine creative activity, conserved within the created order.
Observer
Bahá'u'lláh (Mírzá Ḥusayn-ʻAlí Núrí)
A single embodied person with multiple time-instances (the soul's pre-mortal and post-mortal stages). Personal metaphysical agency: the One God who is the source of all revelations.
Energy
Bahá'u'lláh (Mírzá Ḥusayn-ʻAlí Núrí)
Emergent, conserved, reversible within the divine economy.
Information
Bahá'u'lláh (Mírzá Ḥusayn-ʻAlí Núrí)
Conserved at both scales by the persistence of revelation through the manifestations of God and by the immortal soul.
Internal Tensions
Where each persona's working synthesis strains against itself.
Bahá'u'lláh's claim to be the latest in the series of progressive manifestations of God — and the institutional successor to Muhammad — has been rejected by orthodox Shia Islam, with the Bahá'í community facing systematic persecution in Iran since the 1979 revolution. The faith's claim to transcend the world's religious traditions through their fulfilment is read by adherents of those traditions as either appreciative ecumenism or as replacement theology. The administrative-institutional development under ʻAbdu'l-Bahá, Shoghi Effendi, and the Universal House of Justice has produced a globally coordinated religious community without parallel for its size in modern history.
